Im not realy eating healthy. I really
want to too but I always get extremely
hungry too fast and I just grab anything
to munch on to soothe my hunger pains lol.
I would really like to hear what other
ladies eat and if they eat healthy or not.

I ate healthy but ate some junk food
aswell, what I did was...
Like when I had a soda, i'd replace the
soda I just had with 2 glasses of water,
so everytime I had a soda, I drank 2
glasses of water. I ate 4 different
vegetables a day and tried to eat 5 fruits
a day, I also did some light working out.
I think it's okay as long as you excersize
right during pregnancy and make up for the
junk food you eat.
I ate a lot of salads during pregnancy
aswell, I think I craved that & ribs
the most.
I try to keep my snacking healthy. If I
want something right away i'll slice up an
apple and dip it in peanut butter instead
of going for junk food. Just keep lots
of snack stuff ready that is healthy, so
it's just as easy to reach for as junk
food. Baby carrots, granola bars,
yogurts, that sort of stuff. They have
giant cookies I really love in my school
cafeteria but instead of eating them i'll
buy a slice of bannana bread and i'll get
a small white milk instead of chocolate
(not a big difference but i'm sure it adds
up making small healthier choices). When
I really want something sweet instead of
going all out with candy i'll eat some
canned fruit (still not the best, but
better than chocolate bars.) just
anything small you can do here and there
makes a difference when it's all added up.

When I was pregnant, for breakfast I had a
fruit smoothie, fruit and oat breakfast
bar, and a bowl of high fibre cereals with
milk....I know that's a lot but I was
always starving when I woke up ...And
those kind of things are really easy to
just grab and eat, no cooking!..And
healthy. A smoothie is a great way to get
3, 4 even 5 portions of fruit in
yourself.
Lunch was your usual sandwiches of
wholemeal or seeded bread with salad or
some type of fresh cold meat slices and
pickle or mayonnaise in them. Then a
yoghurt or piece of fruit....Again really
quick, simple...And healthy.
Dinner something cooked like, pasta twists
in a sauce which I would add chopped up
bacon or chicken to get the
protein...Lasagne and veg, spaghetti
bolognese, big salads with a protein
(eggs/tuna/salmon/chicken/turkey/ham),
sometimes added pasta or rice to a salad
aswell....The rest of the time was usually
meals of some kind of meat with potatoes,
vegetables and gravy.
Fruit for a snack, or unsalted nuts.
Water and fresh fruit juice to drink.
I was really healthy food wise for most of
my pregnancy, some people see pregnancy as
an excuse to stuff themselves silly of
total crap foods and junk, but I felt the
total opposite, I wanted to be healthy for
my baby.
Hope that helped a bit!

Orange juice is really good- but
.Mcdonalds is probably the worst thing you
could eat while you're pregnant, lol.
What .Tanya said is a really good plan.
Although it takes a lot of willpower.
It's really hard to eat healthy!
