Is this ok to eat question

[smarston3]

Hi ladies,

So, I'm thinking of random things that I like to eat and wondering if they are ok on the diet. Where should I post these random questions as to not be "in the way" of other threads

Some examples
Can I eat a baked potato every day for lunch?
How bout cinnamon rolls (for lunch)?
I'm a big breakfast eater. So can I eat any of those things at lunchtime instead of for breakfast?

Thanks!

That is what I do- have what I would like to have for breakfast at lunch. I still eat 3 times a day but small portions for the first and second meals.

For breakfast I love a cinnamon roll with my coffee- yum! Or I love 1 cup of mixed berries in 1/2 cup of full fat French vanilla yogurt- Stonyfield.

Lunch- cheese sandwich with tomato slices and scraps of what the boys didn't eat- I HATE to throw out food!

Dinner- something hearty to make sure I get enough calories and protein. I make this my largest meal, since our bodies are better at regulating our blood sugar (insulin is coming from your pancreas now instead of glycogen stored from your liver) or I make up for calories with a yummy dessert right after dinner.

GL to you! On this forum, started by Weezie is a thread called Lets record what we are eating. There are a ton of ideas for meals!

FX you get your BFP soon!!

Thanks!! Was thinking of things I can make ahead and eat all week. There's a tomato & basil soup recipe on Pinterest that I think would be ok..I'll move my questions to that thread. Thanks again!

We try to not be too particular around here about our threads, just post em when you got em (questions, that is)

In the Dream Members section there's a thread called "Myth of the Magic Foods and Best/Worst Food Guide" that can really be of help.

There are no forbidden foods for pink - you can eat anything provided you stick in the limits. Some people like to be more strict than that and focus only only the pink-friendly foods and others don't.

I ate baked potato several times a week with my DD. Breakfast foods (for lunch) are also fine. Did that quite often myself!

I have non-fortified cereal most days for lunch (with whole or skim milk, I switch it up). And I eat a fair amount of potatoes!

What cereal do you eat? There are many days that I have eaten a bowl of cereal for breakfast, lunch and dinner (pre swaying)

And thanks atomic! Trying to find that thread

If you eat cereal, it needs to be unfortified!

This link will only work for Dream Members but this is among the most helpful threads on the site (IMVVHO) http://genderdreaming.com/forum/le-diet-info/466-myth-magic-foods-best-worst-food-guide.html

Here in Europe, all the Bio (basically organic but even better) cereals are unfortified. So I eat all kinds of things - corn flakes, spelt muesli/granola (with rolled spelt, looks like rolled oats and same texture), puffed & honey sweetened rice/quinoa/amaranth/millet, chocolate rice krispy type cereal, and honey flavoured corn-based spheres. I just avoid oats and added vitamins, and I'm careful to go for lowfat granola or only eat a little of high fat ones, and the granola must be made with pink friendly oils (canola, sunflower, palm). It's not true granola alas as no oats but it's not bad. Oh and no nuts, chocolate or coconut in my granola. Just fruit..

The cheap, generic store brand of corn flakes are unfortified here, too. But all other conventional cereals, especially brand names, are fortified.

I'm pretty sure in the US you can find plain puffed grains (Arrowhead Farms organic, often in bags), with or without sweetener, that are not fortified. But most cereals in a box, organic or not, contain either oats, vitamins, or both. Especially the really tasty or sugary cereals, sigh.

Boy moms love cereal!
