Am I eating really badly?

[caggie3]

I'm worried that I'm eating terribly - there's lots of veg in my meals (I'm vegetarian) but I'm eating things like burritos and nachos, pasta dishes, pizzas, stir fries etc every single night? All home made, not takeaway, I don't put loads of salt in as my toddler eats what we eat, use some fake meat and lots of veg.. but it's still sort of junky isn't it? I'm worried I'm being really unhealthy but I'm so hungry a salad doesn't tempt me at all!

Why should you just eat salad?

You're being slightly ridiculous. What you're eating is fine.

I had hg for 5 months and I ate water! On good days I was eating the most random stuff like veg soup for breakfast to try and get something nutritional into me. But baby did great, they'll take all the goodness first and you get the leftovers so don't worry too much just take your pregnancy vitamins and folic acid and try not to stress! What you're eating sounds fine to me. If you're really worried speak to your midwife, they might want to check iron levels at a certain point would be the only thing I imagine could be tricky for you to get enough of but they'll keep you right and they have a dietician they can refer to if they are worried.

How is any of what you listed 'junky'?

None of what you are eating is "'junky" its normal food.

Huh? It's fine.

The only thing I could keep down for several weeks when pregnant were big macs from mcdonalds. No fries just the big mac.

When I was pregnant with one of mine it was mcchicken sandwiches i ate them most days !

That's a really strange way of thinking OP. I think you're associating these foods with takeaway-type meals, so are deeming them 'unhealthy'.
Home cooked is fine.

I’m confused. What do you think you should be eating?
