Fit ladies: what are you snacking on?

[webdeveloper73]

@felicitys My favorite late morning snack was two fried eggs on small pieces of bread.

@webdeveloper73 How did you stand the smell? That's the one thing I can't tolerate these days. I'm really jealous because I love a good fried egg.

 

[felicitys]

@jmswprkr I’ve been eating eggs consistently throughout pregnancy. Hopefully you’re able to enjoy them again once baby comes!

 

[cbaffn]

@felicitys Same, eggs are a go to for me! Honestly when I’m lazy I’ll just scramble one in the microwave and eat it with salt and pepper haha

 

[afolkytouch]

@felicitys You sound healthy. I literally eat a donut every day lol

 

[savedbygrace85]

@afolkytouch Thank you. Me too haha

I now pack a chocolate bar in my work bag every day. I wish I at least wanted to be more healthy but right now I just dont.

 

[afolkytouch]

@savedbygrace85 I have a donut and chocolate every day. I think otherwise I eat decently healthy and I haven't gained too much weight (actually my weight is kind of stalling in this third tri now) so I'm just enjoying my Dunkin donuts while I can lol

 

[felicitys]

@afolkytouch I eat my fair share of ice cream and cookies too, but typically for after dinner dessert not a mindless midday snack. I have my days of being unhealthy too though!

 

[afolkytouch]

@felicitys I have a donut as part of my breakfast and chocolates with lunch. Dinner is actually my healthy time bc my acid reflux is so bad at night I just have a small meal and nothing after lol

 

[llortretsam]

@felicitys Unsalted and roasted nuts like almonds, pecans, pistachios, walnuts, cashews, peanuts

@felicitys I’m terrible with portion control so little individual sized peanut butter has been super helpful especially during the cracker eating phase. Like I’m not necessarily limiting my portions but it’s just nice to know how much protein I’m getting.

@felicitys Roasted chickpeas? Haven't tried it myself yet, but when I get more nibbly, it's on my roster to try:

Seems like you just wash and pat dry canned chickpeas, season as desired and then roast.

 

[debiyitayo]

@prita I’ve done this before! You’re exactly right and they come out great

 

[plan2911]

@prita roasted chickpeas are SO GOOD and I keep meaning to make them again

 

[felicitys]

@prita I do this for my lunchtime salads but haven’t considered having as a snack on their own. I like it!

@felicitys Pumpkin seeds. Lots of magnesium helps with pregnancy constipation. Add cacao nibs for chocolate flavor and maybe goji berries and mulberries.

Add above to yogurt for a filling snack.

 

[felicitys]

@etzion Love it, thanks!

I didn’t put in my original comment but I’ve been adding flax, chia, hemp, cinnamon and a drizzle of honey to my greek yogurt with granola/fruit and it’s been helping to keep me full - in addition to being tasty

@felicitys I've been doing two breakfasts, veggie packed lunch, and dinner, maybe a snack. I'm 26w and starving all the time hahaha.

I got a vanilla protein powder that I can't stand the taste of so I've been making protein breads to snack on. I eyeball it, but half protein powder half flour, baking powder, then some wet and oily ingredients with whatever I have in the fridge. An egg, some roasted squash, milk, peanut butter blended and added to dry. Good with more peanut butter on top I've been eating a ton of PB lately. Also milk for when I'm a tiny bit hungry but want to exercise soon, so I don't have to wait for it to settle down so long

 

[felicitys]

@sangotunhienst Ooo I’ve never thought about making protein bread before, thanks I’ll give it a try!
