What do you eat in a day?

[kelliebrookexoxo]

Hi ladies,
I'm new here and this is my first post (yay!!) I'm 16 weeks pregnant today and cannot stop eating! I'm a pig! I have always had a big appetite and have managed to get away with it staying at about a size 10/12. But since being pregnant I have put on loads of weight! I was a 30e-24-38 and am now a 32ff-24-42!! My boobs, hips, and bum have ballooned and my bump is ma-hoosive considering how far along I am. So, what I want to know is what you mums-to-be are eating and how this has changed from your usual diet? My friend told me that really I don't need that many extra calories now that I'm pregnant.

This was what I ate today:

B'fast: 1/2 pink grapefruit; Bowl of porridge made with 180ml semi-skimmed milk + 30g of dark chocolate peanut butter; cup of coffee with milk and 2x tsp brown sugar; cup of tea (no sugar in my teas).

Post-workout snack: 1x pear; 1x whey protein shake with water.

11 o'clock: 4x lotus biscuits; cup of tea.

Lunch: Honey salmon toasted sandwich (using brown bread and olive spread) with Baby leaf salad; Blueberry Danio yoghurt; 2x Freddos; cup of tea.

Then went to cinema with DH as it's day off and shared with him: Ben and Jerry's Karamel Sutra ice-cream (1/2 tub), a packet of Haribo Supermix (I ate all the green and purple jelly babies and all the milk bottles as these are my fave haha! so 1/3 of a bag approx); can of Diet Coke.

At home, another cup of tea.

Late-ish dinner: Lamb Shank in red wine sauce, with 6x rosemary and garlic roast potatoes, and peas!! Usually my dinners are a bit healthier than this put still huge portions.

Dessert: about 20 black frozen grapes.
Now eating a small bag of Percy Pigs!! OINK OINK indeed!

This is what I've been eating like most days for about 12 weeks now! Help!!!

I'm 30 weeks and have been diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes.

I'm a bit miffed as I eat really well BUT I'm a veggie so always had a very carb heavy diet (Not good for GD)

I currently have something along the lines of:

Breakfast is 1 slice of wholemeal toast, Tea no sugar
Another slice for a snack later on

Lunch is a Small amount of pasta with a side salad and coleslaw, Beetroot etc or Boiled egg and salad filled pitta

Dinner is Meat substitute with lots of veg and a small amount of potato/ Spaghetti Bolognaise / Basically lots of veg and protein with a small amount of carbs

I've not put on much weight and am sill in my size 10 maternity clothes. Some days I am starving but other days I really struggle to eat at all.

Getting a bit worried about GD now although I ate loads of fruit when preg with DD and no probs...

Yesterday I had muesli with banana and semi milk for breakfast, big cup of tea.

3 clementines mid morning.

Lunch - tuna melt as sodding tesco didn't have any rolls to go with soup! Orange mid afternoon.

Supper - homemade (at the weekend!) lentil tikka masala on 2 slices of wholemeal toast with rather a lot of Greek yog as it was a bit heavy on the chilli.
Clementine.

I should add that i can also motor my way through plenty of choc when I feel like it and am generally v greedy at the weekend when we tend to eat out or have people over. No sickness or nausea. Still in normal clothes but a bump is starting to emerge v low down.
