what do you eat for lunch or snacks?

it seems that every time lunch rolls around i am in the mood for nothing! i've been getting grilled chicken sandwiches with avocado, chipotle (yuck, i don't want to keep eating fast food).
today i ended up eating hershey kisses and 2 nectarines so obviously im starving and already have dinner in the oven.
any ideas? i'm trying to limit the cold cuts because of the sodium but nothing sounds good to me at all. whats everybody eating for lunch?
and what about snacks. i ate a bag of sour worms yesterday (real healthy) or sometimes i eat fruit or vanilla sugar almonds. nothing sounds appetizing to me ever so i have a real problem with meals. would like any help or ideas

Re: what do you eat for lunch or snacks?

I sometimes have eggs either scrambled or homemade egg salad, cereal, bagel and cream cheese, cheese sandwich. That's about it, not very exciting.

Re: what do you eat for lunch or snacks?

I've been lucky not to have ms at this point, but I am starting to lose my appetite. Lunch seems the hardest too. Things I've been sticking to would be a bagel with cream cheese or pb, hard boiled eggs, yogurt with fruit and granola, and grilled cheese. As for a snack, the whole grain goldfish seem to keep me full longer than anything else.

Re: what do you eat for lunch or snacks?

im the same way- i am so picky with what i want and dont want now, and it changes all the time! i thought i would go for more sweets, but im really not craving them at all..
i can usually eat for lunch or dinner: pizza, grilled cheese, buttered roll, scrambled egg sandwich, bowl of or dry cereal, soup, sometimes salads

snacks (a little more on the weird side..): cheese sticks, pickles, crackers and peanut butter, pretzals and peanuts, twizzlers, popcorn

good luck and hang in there!

Re: what do you eat for lunch or snacks?

Im having trouble with lunch too. I don't know what I want to eat. Im not big on salads and what I want for dinner sometimes like pizza I don't want to eat for lunch too. Im worried cause I go back to work in September and I usually bring my lunch but what am I going to eat? I have a turkey sandwich for lunch once a week, I guess I can do grilled cheese or a salad but it's tough. Im fine with breakfast but the rest of the day I have no idea.

Re: what do you eat for lunch or snacks?

I've also been eating a lot of what PP said: bagels, pizza, grilled cheese (all the healthy stuff - haha). I've had zero desire for more wholesome/healthy meals. I've been snacking a lot on rice cakes w/ peanut butter, almonds, grapes...

I have the same concern about going back to work in September - prior to being pregnant, I brought turkey sandwiches almost every day. I don't know what I'm going to eat for lunch!!

Re: what do you eat for lunch or snacks?

for me a bowl of cereal always hit the spot.

Re: what do you eat for lunch or snacks?

I can eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich any time of the day. Its always been like that since I was a kid, so when I was in those couple of weeks when nothing was appetizing it was my back up. Especially peanut butter and strawberry jelly on cinnamon raisin bread.

Re: what do you eat for lunch or snacks?

in the first tri i was never in the mood for anything. i had aversions to all meat and just wasn't in the mood for anything ever. i ate a ton of pasta with butter, stouffers french bread cheese pizza and fruit.

Re: what do you eat for lunch or snacks?

thanks. im in a vicious cycle! i dont eat because nothing is appetizing. then im nauseated because i didnt eat. today i had a sugary donut for breakfast and havent even eaten much else!

I'm having such a hard time too. i thought I was the only one.
I have :
mini bagels with butter
pretzels
blueberry waffles with no syrup

nothing else I want or feel I can handle.

Re: what do you eat for lunch or snacks?

So happy to hear I'm not the only one on this. I have no idea what to eat for lunch anymore, nothing sounds good. The only thing I really enjoy is a bagel with butter and jelly, but the month I did that for lunch I gained like 10 pounds! So that went out the window. I've been having lean pockets, but they really don't satisfy me, egg salad has been giving me heart burn. I'm not really a salad person. At a total and complete loss.

For snacks:
Cheese its were really good in the first trimester for me.
The 100 calorie special kay fruit bars are pretty good.
Fiber one bars
Pears
Apples
Cookies

Chicken salad sandwich
Salad

Re: what do you eat for lunch or snacks?

Glad it isn't just me! I really want to eat healthier but this m/s is kicking my butt. It's all about carbs and I'm so sick of them already!

Breakfast:
Bagel with cream cheese
Cereal
Yogurt

Lunch (when I can actually eat it):
Grilled Cheese
Pizza
But usually it's just crackers/pretzels and a ginger ale

Snacks:
Pretzels
Crackers
Cheese snacks (but sometimes these make me nauseous)

Dinner is all over the place. I'm trying to cook big meals when I feel ok so DH and I can live off of leftovers. But that's not really working since I roasted a chicken the other day and now I want nothing to do with it!
