I need food help

[TokidokiPeanut]

I am finally out of the can't look or think about food stage and am having a really hard time thinking of things to eat that are healthy. Meal planning is such a chore and sometimes I just don't feel like eating or chewing for that matter. I am trying to make healthy food choices so does anyone have any ideas or meal plans, recipes, anything that would help?? Thanks in advance!

What are you craving? I was nuts about olives when I was pregnant so we ate a lot of Pasta Puntanesca, which is pretty quick and easy. I'm looking up recipies right now for Roast chicken, which is also easy. A fortified cereal is definitely good. Lots of fruits and veggies. Just avoid junk!

i'm not really craving anything. it's just so hard when your hungry but don't really want to eat.

OMG I can relate! I don't know how other mothers I knew in person kept telling me about food cravings but when it was my turn I went through a long phase of not wanting to eat, I actually lost weight during my first tri! Then I would eat plain food like macaroni soup, drink beef broth etc. Then my apetite returned with a vengeance in tri 3. I think it's normal your body will compensate somehow. Continue with your prenatals.
