I was normally (pre-pregnancy) a skip breakfast not eat until (a late) lunch kind of gal. Not good, I know, but given my late night-owl tendencies (which have also gone away since I have a baby on board) it worked for me. Not anymore. Now I find myself waking up positively ravenous, with a hunger that is quelled only temporarily (for about an hour) between
A now "typical" morning food consumption goes something more like this:
Breakfast: bowl of cheerios with fruit & nonfat milk OR super yummy pregnancy-healthy fruit smoothie (recipe to come)
Drive to Work: String Cheese
1st Morning Snack: Nature Valley or Kashi Granola Bar
2nd Morning Snack: Apple
3rd Morning Snack (yes, this does happen when I still don't take lunch until about 1:30p): Snack baggie of cereal, crackers, or peanuts (depending on what I packed that day)
& finally Lunch: Lately it's been a eggplant & spinach wrap from a local deli that I just can't get enough of. In the first trimester it was a LOT of Mac & Cheese (often from Panera)
I'll stop there... but that gives you an idea of how hungry this baby is... lord knows how I'm only up 3.5lbs right now...
