Pregnancy Typical Food-in-a-Day

Here is an overview of what I typically eat since I became aware that I am baby-making. I buy organic and local whenever possible.

Half of prenatal vitamins and Omega-3 pills

Breakfast: 

• Morning Smoothie- I have made some changes to this. I wrote about the sweetener in the last post. I also had to get rid of the maca powder and flax oil because they could be harmful to Baby Squiggles.
• Sometimes: a bowl of cereal or, if I don't feel well, crackers or pretzels

Snack

Lunch (some combination of):

• Hummus with spinach or carrots
• Apple or other fruit
• Pretzels, crackers and cheese, chips
• Thai noodle soup in a package
• Leftovers
• Mac and cheese or cheesy potatoes (I need to cut these habits)

Snack

Dinner (some combination of):

• Pasta (I never used to eat this but it is good for getting calories in. I try for whole grain)
• Gardein something
• Take-out
• Homemade pizza
• Soup
• Curry Chickpeas
• Homemade stir fry or fried rice or rice noodles
• French fries and Gardein 'chicken' tenders
• Steamed veggies like brocolli or green beans
• Garlic mashed potatoes (used to not eat potatoes but I am for the potassium) 
• Near East whole grain blend
• Lentils, quinoa, brown rice
