What foods are you missing the most while ttc a boy?

I prob would...... lmfao but I dunno about the mice :P

I love this thread - all the things you guys are missing are the things I'm eating but could easily do without! Your boy diet is how I love to eat ... and breakfast is my absolute favourite meal of the day, how I miss it! It really is no wonder we have what we have!

I miss cheese the most and yogurt, lots and lots of yogurt.
I also miss not eating breakfast :p

you aussies (are you?) are hilarious. saw the mice thing. but knew what you meant. and yes i WOULD eat a mouse if i were 110% guaranteed a boy. GROSS.
i havent started the diet yet as im losing weight still and TTC in oct. but ill be starting in mid july..SCARED/NERVOUS!!!
i will surely miss: CHEESE, CHOC (sugars), ice cream, turkey and turkey sandwiches (LOVE MY SANDWICHES), chicken (big chicken eater, with beef usually 3 times a week), carbs (breads, pastas..but since on my losiing weight diet, ive become accustomed to not eating asmany refined carbs), coffee and sugar and cream in my coffee. those are the big things.

i agree, maybe we can cook for one another and make it simpler..hey that could be a new career for someone!!! personal gender swaying chef.

OMG! I cant believe i missed that when posting it! now i DO NOT eat mice! lol, sorry for the typo but thanks for the entertainment!

Protein + carbs = boys! A LOT of girl moms are total carb junkies but they eat mostly JUST carbs without much protein and fat - a lot of lowfat diet type products, refined carbs, and sweets.

I just have no idea when it comes to what you guys eat, i never eat breakfast anyway, but usually have a snack at about 10.30am, so what would you recommend, i am at work, so maybe some fruit or yoghurt??? then i eat dinner about 5 with the kids but want something they will eat. Arrrgghhh this is so confusing!

AT work I would def. do a sugar free yogurt or two and/or fruit like strawberries or apple. Another option is a small amount of homemade hummus or aubergine/eggplant dip (do not salt it or add garlic) with cucumbers or a salad with fatfree dressing.

Grazing is great for boys! :agree: As is lots of fruit and veg. I would love to see you get some more healthy fats though - I hope you're including a fish oil and/or flaxseed supp and maybe an avocado 2 or 3 times a week, with olive oil for cooking.

The easiest rule to remember for boys is that protein + carbs with healthy fats = boys while a carb-heavy, low protein, lowfat diet = girls.

You CAN eat turkey and chicken, at least on the High-Everything diet, it's still protein and your body uses it to make muscle. I promise that I ate tons of turkey and chicken when I TTC my guys.

I find myself eating a lot of sweet/diet type products in trying to stay within the low-everything diet limits - Weight Watchers cakes, meringue nests etc. Of course they're full of sugar. Is this ok? I've been meaning to ask.
