How much do you eat on a normal day?

I am about 4 weeks pg according to babycenter. I am trying to eat healthier, but need some advice on what everyone else does.

I have already incorporated oatmeal for breakfast(I used to never really eat breakfast), 1 glass or so of the V8 juice(b/4 dinner) since I am not a big veggie fan. I always have a tall glass of milk b/4 I go to bed. I cut out my morning cup of coffee and if I do drink coffee it is decaf. I have cheated and had some coke, but I find that I can not drink it b/c I feel guilty!

I started eating breakfast -- on work days nomrally 1/2 of a pumpernickle bagel or yougurt or oatmeal. Replaced my coffee with Nesquick Choc Milk (only way I can drink milk)

Lunch - salad with chicken or soup
Snack - pink grapefruit or mixed nuts

Dinner -- most nights is some sort of chicken and veggies, last night was a greek salad w/o feta, meatballs...

LOTS of Poland Spring Sparkling water.

I eat healthy, so I'm trying to eat the way I normally do. I did cut of coffee, tea, sugary juice drinks and diet coke. I do eat some chocolate here and there, but trying to curb it as well.

I usually don't eat big meals, but recently I have noticed I get hunger pangs, so I eat. Like yesterday, I ate some rotisererie chicken and it came right back up.. I don't think it was m/s, I can't eat heavy. I eat salmon once or twice a week.. b/c I love fish.

Lunch is usually, some soup or yogurt w/ fruits. Today I had a croissant for lunch my carb fix for the day..

I also **try** to eat atleast two fruits a day and two servings of dairy.. milk, yogurt, cheese.. sometimes even ice cream it doesn't happen always, but I try.

How about seltzer water instead? I think regular coke is ok on occassion.. so don't beat yourself up. Honestly, if all us follow the dietary regulations out there.. we'd be starving preggos

Re: How much do you eat on a normal day?

typical day-

breakfast 1 - cereal

breakfast 2 - either oatmeal, a bagel or egg, cheese & tomato on a roll

lunch - typically has been pb&J, sometimes a salad, occassionally pizza or grilled cheese

dinner- something with lean chicken & veggies or whole wheat pasta or lean beef concoction (shepherds pie, chili, stew, etc...)

bed time snack - cookies or ice cream

--during the day i try and have an apple or an orange or some almonds or a granola bar or something like that

--drinks = water, water and more water, orange juice, siera mist natural, organic whole milk, coffee, and i really like the honest kids juice boxes in berry berry good lemonade

Re: How much do you eat on a normal day?

I'm almost 17 weeks and STILL have almost no appetite. I'm not sick; I'm just never hungry. I keep waiting for those pregnancy cravings to kick in. But if I eat a big lunch (and by "big", I mean "sandwich, fruit, and yogurt") I am done for the rest of the day.

Today I had cereal for breakfast, a cup of chicken soup and a roll with butter for lunch, and a few cookies when I got home. So that's, what, 700 calories? I'll force myself to eat dinner, and then maybe some ice cream to get calories and protein in.

I'm telling you, pregnancy is the best diet I've ever been on. I've gained 5 pounds in these 4 months and my OB seems to think that's ok, so I'm trying not to worry about it.

Re: How much do you eat on a normal day?

i try to eat breakfast but im not always hungry.
if i do its either a bowl of special k yogurt and berries with a banana or oatmeal. and a cup of coffee

lunch is usually a sandwich with baby carrots and grapes or left overs

dinner is whatever we decide to do. sometimes its pizza or out to dinner or mac and cheese i eat a lot. i havent been much in the mood to make chicken or anything.

i dont snack much inbetween.

i havent really changed my eating habits since getting pregnant.
