Answer

My iron was low last 2 pregnancies. No food aversion. 
This time around, can't stand the taste of meat, so I've been eating grits, cream of wheat and oatmeal. 
There have been days were I eat nothing but grits with cheese in them 😋 
I get instant for all 3 bc my kids eat them as well. I am 26w and got blood work done a few days ago and everything came back great.

Answer

Full fat milk and cheese. Peanut butter

Answer

I really enjoy bowmar nutrition protein powder as well as wheat protein powder. Drink it as a shake or make pancakes/waffles/muffins out of it! Add peanut butter or avocado to things when you can, they have great fat in them! Make sure you’re getting enough carbs, try snacking on a bagel or some cheese & crackers as well as maybe having some oatmeal or rice somewhere in the day. 
Try increasing to 5 small meals every 3 hours or so. Good luck mama 💕
