healthy eating

im in the begining of my pregnancy and i really want to eat healthy but i crave everything from chocolate ice cream to gummy worms and soda all the time please help me eat healthy any suggestions(sp?)

Everything in moderation, dear =)

cereal, ovaltine, yogurt, and spinach!! lol the last ones nasty but important.... also salmon is a good fish to eat, but only twice a week

If I snack I try to snack healthy, like graham crackers or instead of ice cream, frozen yogurt...

For a healtier treat try peaches. pears, and pineapples. They are sweet and aren't as bad for you as other foods, just don't over do it.

Quoting Kevin's Mommy:“ For a healtier treat try peaches. pears, and pineapples. They are sweet and aren't as bad for you as other foods, just don't over do it.”

true...and apples ans strawberries too. You'll appreciate the fruit to cause it can help with constipation also.....
Soda is moderation or try caffiene free stuff...still in moderation too.

When I was first pregnant I was hungry for NOTHING but random junk foods (which totally isn't me). I was really concerned but the nurse told me that I shouldn't worry. The baby gets everything she needs from me, even if Im not eating the greatest, and that I would make up for it in the months to come...that it was ok to eat crappy temporarily. Just take a prenatal!!

i eat a little samon last night and i didnt really like it i eat alot of dry cereal but nothing good lol like frosted flakes and stuff and i dont realy find time to make myself food because i have a 3 month old son and i take care of my twin little cousins all day and then work at night so on my way to work i grab mcdonalds or something lol i really dont have the will power anymore and thats what i need to get back and i dont know how

You can have your junk foods.. but just have them occasionally & in small doses. Enough to just satisfy the craving. I craved flamin' hot cheetos like a mad woman & you betcha I ate them too.

on saterdays and sundays i work 13 hr days and all i eat is egg and cheese on a role with mayo pizza chips soda candy anything but something healthy and i hate it but i dont know what i can bring with me i guess cereal in a bag and i dont what else thou

Same thing happened to me my first trimester. But then once I wasn't nauseous anymore I craved healthier foods. It's ok, just take your prenatals and try to cut back on the caffeine...if you need fizzy just drink caffeine free stuff if you can. I started drinking cranberry juice and club soda.
