GD gals…what are you eating?

I would love to see some sample menus or get ideas for breakfast, lunch, dinner & snacks. I'm allowed 1800 calories if that helps

for snacks I've only done the Dannon Light & Fit Greek Yogurt and and am doing Granny Smith apples with sharp cheddar cheese (:heart eyes:) but I just started yesterday.

i am sooo hungry right now and ate lunch and want to avoid this. yesterday i was full all day from the choices I made.

motivate and inspire meeeeeeee

Re: GD gals…what are you eating?

I just started today and so far this is what I had.
B= 2 slices of carb lite bread (2 slices are 9 carbs) with a tbls of PB and 1/2 banana. (15 carb) total <30 carb
S= Stonyfield Greek yogurt 12 carbs
L= Egg salad and bacon in wrap. (carbs??)


or in the past (last pregnancy) I would have that same bread with 1 or 2 eggs and make french toast with SF syrup and coffee.
- yogurt with a very small amt of cereal mixed in (chk your#s)
- eggs with a slice of bread and a 1/2 cup of blueberries

Snacks
Bonny bell cheese and crackers for snack
Fritos scoops (10) with Hummus

Dinner was mostly grilled Chicken vegi and maybe rice.

Im looking for some other options as well. I think i may try cereal again with Almond milk and see if my numbers are within range. Last time i couldnt eat cereal at all.
