I would have a bowl of crunchy nut cornflakes every morning with low fat milk. Lunch would be a bagel with low fat cream cheese, with salad and usually a muller light yogurt or a cheese and coleslaw with lettuce or cucumber small bread roll. I also think I used to have low fat yogurt with museli and fruit some days. Mid week dinner was pasta almost every day with some spicy tomato based sauce and some Parmesan cheese. Or pesto or a pasta bake with same sauce but added mushrooms peppers and olives. I also loved a baked rice dish with peppers, broccoli and cheese. Again in a tomato based sauce. ( I must make this again soon). Also if I was busy I would just have crackers and cream cheese instead of dinner.
When I came off the pill I started my prenatal vitamins. So I was only taking them for two weeks. Also I did some exercise every day
For DD2. I tried to follow what I did for DD1 as much as possible and also staying in LE guidelines. I now had breakfast later and just a packet of breakfast biscuits/cookies with coffee. Similar lunches and dinner. Again only 1 attempt but this time it was a number of days before ovulation ( I told DH not to get his hopes up as it was very unlikely to happen). No exercise this time
At the moment I would say I am light HE which would be my normal way of eating and exercising.
I hope this helps and if you want to know anything else feel free to ask
