It’s been too long since I have captured what I have eaten on my blog, and when asked by a client today, I thought I’d share with all. Thirty-three weeks pregnant, with few to no cravings, yet, anything too flavorful or sweet upsets my stomach.
8AM – Breakfast – (Blood sugar 86 mg/dl)
Beet Protein Smoothie
– 1 large cooked beet (picked up some from Costco)
– 5 large celery stalks
– 1 tablespoon of soaked chia seeds
– 1/2 tsp of maca powder
– 4 ounces of almond milk
– 4 ounces of water
– 1 scoop raw protein powder
While making smoothie I had a spoonful of almond butter (I was starving)
10:30 – AM Snack – (Blood sugar 96 mg/dl)
1 oz of Kerrygold grass-fed cheese
12:15 – Lunch – (Blood sugar 111 mg/dl)
Romaine lettuce sandwich
– 2 large romaine lettuce leaves
– 3 ounces of Chicken Columbus brand deli meat
– 2 large green garlic stuffed olives, sliced for “sandwich”
– Yellow mustard
5-8 baby carrots w/ tahini dip
1/2 large organic apple
1 square of dark chocolate
3:30 – PM Snack – (Blood sugar 81 mg/dl)
Second half of organic large apple
1 hard boiled egg
2 strawberries
Overall, I have found that having set meal and snack times is important to control my blood sugar, portions and hunger. Overall, I am eating more carbohydrates during pregnancy, and focusing heavily on eating intuitively. One thing is for sure, I can’t eat spicy food like I used to!
