what's your daily diet like? here's mine...what do you think?

I'm not sure if I'm doing a good job of eating the right things. I'm trying...kinda

usually my day is something like this....
breakfast:
plain nonfat yogurt with granola and oj
or
kashi cereal and oj
or sometimes
a buttered roll with decaf coffee from 7-11

Lunch:
(this is where I usually cave)
I'm a teacher and I've been eating school lunch almost every day!
My favs are...
egg salad on whole wheat
green salad and dressing
french fries
pizza
chicken nuggets
BUT, I do always get a fruit cup and I've been having milk with lunch too!

Snack:
string cheese (when I'm being good)
or anything else in the fridge that's appealing!

Dinner:
chicken breast with rice or potatoes and veggie
or
pork with same sides
or
pasta

sometimes for dinner though I can't stomach anything but pizza or an eggplant parm hero (that's usually once a week).

Do I sound totally piggie or normal and healthy "enough"?

You're eating a lot better than me! I just finished eating some baked cheetos! At least they were baked! Honestly, I don't really worry about what I'm eating that much and try to make healthy choices.

My diet is atrocious. I have a TON of food aversions and unfortunately I only like a handful of foods right now and they are all bad

That sounds like me on a HEALTHY day! If that's your daily meals, I think you're doing great!

Re: what's your daily diet like? here's mine...what do you think?

Sounds incredibly healthy!!!
Good for you!

Re: what's your daily diet like? here's mine...what do you think?

Much more healthy that me!!!!! All I want are pancakes
And I am definitely not drinking enough, I am really trying though...

you have a very healthy diet! Mine consists of whatever can keep down on a given day and believe me that can vary greatly, I lived on bagles for a few weeks and then pizza, I'm al labout the carbs....now I seem to have developed a sweet tooth.....I don't eat great but I don't eat a lot and somehow still managed to gain a ridiculous amount of weight and I stil lhave about 12 weeks to go!!!

Honestly - you have nothing to worry about! Nice balanced diet. If you have days that you can only eat pizza, then eat pizza! My diet consists of cereal, fruit & a peice of toast and honey in the morning and basically goes down hill from there. I cannot stomach meat so I am eating veggies, however I have found I go through stages of liking different things, at the moment it is jelly doughnuts, I have one every day and I love every bite. You are eating well, don't worry, everything in moderation or as my Mum says "a little of what you fancy does you good" and she was a midwfie for 40 years!

You're doing fine! Keep up the good work! I'm saying this as I'm eating Wendy's right now!

Re: what's your daily diet like? here's mine...what do you think?

I don't know how it gets but I am only craving salads and soups. Weird??
I had pasta the other night took a few bites and
Nothing with carbs for now

Yours sounds good though!

Re: what's your daily diet like? here's mine...what do you think?

Overall I am good, but I do allow for some not-so-healthy choices...Keeps me sane!!!

I always ate relatively healthy, but since becoming PG, I've had a mild aversion to eggs (sometimes I can still eat them), including egg whites which I ate every morning for like 4 years. I'm finding myself desiring a lot more carbs. I do know for me personally, I have very low blood pressure and my blood sugar can be low too, so I'm wondering if that's the cause for my sudden desire for sweeter things. When I say sweeter, not just "junk food", I'm craving with mad passion: Orange juice, apples and bananas. I try to keep each to once a day, but I could go for another tall glass of OJ right now (I know it's strange), I'm thinking my body must be needing something that these foods are providing. I'm slightly concerned about the sugar though b/c my dad is diabetic which I thinks makes me more disposed to Gestational Diabetes. I've been sick the last 2 days so DH ran out and got my favorite ice cream flavor and I'm going to pop one of those "just add water" chocolate cakes in the microwave with a scoop of the ice cream. I try not to do this every day though. My big downfall since not eating eggs as much, is the syrup on the pancakes and waffles. Now that the 1st trimester is almost over I'm going to force myself to go back to egg white at least a few times a week and maybe have my bran cereal (I've also been wanting that since it keeps me regular ) on the other days.
