Ever since finding out I was pregnant (besides a couple days where I have wanted to stuff my face with everything but something healthy) I have tried to change my eating habits for the better. I am no where near where I want to be, but I have saw so many improvements lately that I'm proud to share what I eat in a day!
Keep in mind that this is not ONLY what I eat in one day! My mom always makes dinner, which is usually some sort of meat with pasta or veggies on the side. During the past few years I have also witnessed my mom trying to eat healthier and making small changes like buying whole wheat pasta vs the original (which I personally like better now!). These are all things that I simple snack on or eat before/after dinner. In case you're still worried that I don't eat enough, I'll elaborate...
I always start out with coffee for breakfast, or a smoothie. I've never ate a ton in the morning and I'm usually on the go anyway, so I opt for something quick. The only ingredients I use for my smoothies are fresh fruit, milk, yogurt, and ice. We always keep bananas and strawberries in my house so that's usually what I use, but we've had blueberries and blackberries lately so I add those in as well! I also make avocado toast in the morning, and depending on if I'm a hungrier and have more time, I'll scramble some eggs and add them on top!
When I have a sweet tooth, I grab some fruit (whatever we have in the house) and put yogurt on the side. It's quick and simple and tastes so good! If I want something else, I'll make a boiled egg and sprinkle it with salt and pepper or munch on a few carrots with ranch until I'm not hungry anymore (or until the episode of Gossip Girl is over!)
Water has been my life saver the past few months. I always drink at least two bottles a day, but it seems that has increased to four recently. I should drink more, but since I drink Minute Maid fruit punch or orange juice or any sort of fruit juice for the rest of the day, I never saw it as a huge problem! I haven't drank any soda since shortly after I found out I was pregnant when alllll I wanted was an ice cold Sprite.
Lastly, it seems like we always have leftover white rice or fried rice in my house. I know fried rice isn't the healthiest but it's all I've craved during this pregnancy! It can't be any regular takeout fried rice either, it has to be a certain kind of hibachi style rice. I'm addicted and no one can tell me to stop.
