Vegetarians?

Question

What are you eating? I went vegetarian last year, also cut out sugar and caffeine. 
I’m still “learning” how to eat properly... I eat way too many carbs and beans, not enough veggies. With the morning sickness though I can’t tolerate anything and everything I crave I can’t eat (salami, sushi). I’ve been living off pizza and veggie burritos. I’m at 98lbs (which is somewhat normal for me, I’m usually between 100-105) but my Ob isn’t thrilled that I haven’t gained any weight yet. (12 weeks 3 days) 
What nutritious snacks do you keep handy? Any tips? All suggestions welcome!

Answer

Not a vegetarian 🤷🏻‍♀️ buuut healthy snacks I keep handy are grain cereals with milk, oatmeal, laughing cow cheese dippers, hard boiled eggs with hot sauce, whole wheat English muffins and peanut butter. Make sure your prenatals have iron and calcium in them. And good luck!! Being vegetarian is something that would be very difficult for me. Just make sure you’re giving your baby everything it needs.

Answer

I usually eat veggies nonstop as a vegetarian but the first trimester only salads and bland veggies like carrots and peas are appetizing. Carbs are a problem for me (I want them more now than ever before!!! Puffy breads! Rice!) but I try to balance with lots of yogurt, kefir, nuts (whole and raw are healthier). I've also started eating wheat loaf which is like seitan with peanut butter to up the protein, as a snack with nice German mustard. Peanut butter on anything. If you eat eggs, that's actually really good now. I'm not eating my healthiest now, but you do what you have to while pregnant.

My midwife and I are both vegetarians!!! 🎉 I’m excited because Drs are usually annoying about it, like where do you get your protein, etc 🙄
I’ve been eating a lot more carbs than normal, but my midwife says it’s okay because that’s what I can stomach. Once my nausea goes away I’ll go more towards protein and vegetables.
There’s nothing wrong with eating beans, they are protein and fiber filled! You can also do tofu, seitan, tempeh, and veggie burgers. There are so many options. Even more options with vegetables! I would look online for some recipes if you are having trouble getting ideas

Answer

I went from pescatarian to eating meat because I'll eat anything I can keep down. I was losing weight and decided to just break down and eat meat once a week.

Answer

I'm not vegetarian so not sure on what you can eat.. do you eat eggs? or milk? Those are both good proteins to make like a custard or frittata with veggies in it. You could do celery or apple and peanut butter for a snack.
