Peanut butter, bananas or super foods before getting pregnant with your daughter? Just curious...I know there ate no magic foods, It's just curiosity;-)

I have 2 dds and with both i would have a banana for breakfast practically everyday.
I ate tons of bananas before DD5 - it was part of my "sway" (not a GD sway) I ate so many I still don't like them today :D
Wow! Interesting! Thanks for your responses. Anyone else atr or eats super foods peanut butter or bananas and have a dd? This is to prep me for my future sway as I love to eat those foods!;-)
Nope never ate banana or pb, was also vegetarian at the time
I ate a banana everyday and peanutbutter every day.
I don't think the food says something I believe its your totals of cal and fat and proteïne that counts.
yes I had bananas and also peanut butter sometimes. I ran out of peanut butter a couple weeks before I got pg but I did have it 1-2 times per week in the 6 months prior to conceiving her
Just wanted to point out that everyone who has a failed blue sway "the old school way" was eating tons of bananas because they were considered such strong "boy foods". THere are no boy foods or girl foods, it's the overall diet that matters and not any one food. :)Quote:

When I conceived both my DDs I was eating very poorly due to long hours at work, I never ate fruits/vegetables, never ate breakfast basically I ate a lot of pasta/rice with several types of sauces and also was never fond of meat. When I snacked ( not too often) I had sweet deserts full of unhealthy fats....So overall lots of empty calories.
When I conceived DD I would have 3 rice cakes spread with peanut butter and sliced banana or 3 ryevita with 1/2 a mashed avocado and slices of tomato for lunch most days in the week. Dinner was usually pasta with spicy tomato sauce or rice and veggies with a bit of cheese
I didn't eat bananas or peanut butter.
My mom ate an organic mostly vegetarian diet (plus fish/seafood) including loads of fruit, veg, and nuts. She ate dark leafy green veg every day of her life. I'm sure bananas and very nutritious fruit/veg (if that's what you mean by super foods?) were included, as my mother was a health and fitness nut (she swam laps & belly danced daily before & during her pregnancy with me). She didn't like PB though (which is actually not that healthy, anyway - just high in fat/cals). One attempt bc I was created by AI, she conceived on the first try.
I never really ate any of those when I conceived my DD's.
I never ate bananas or peanut butter when I conceived my daughter. However, I ate both when I conceived my boys.
I love reading all the inputs!
I never eat peanut butter and rarely ate bananas. I also never eat breakfast. Before I had dd, I was really stressed planning and going on family vacation. And drink lots of coffee, coke and only ate fast food and buffets (was on a cruise). 2 weeks after the cruise I got a BFP!

i never ate bananas with either dd, if i wanted a fruit on the go i'd usually eat an apple. i barely ever ate peanuts or peanut butter. both times when we conceived, i was on a diet, only coffee for breakfast, and wouldn't have my first real meal until noon most days. no snacking. i was doing a lot of cardio as well,and taking VERY VERY unhealthy fat burners to try to lose weight. obviously, we weren't trying either time. the first time i wasn't great about taking my pills when i got pregnant with DD1, and the second time i was charting to avoid and thought i had ovulated waaaay before i actually did.
looking back now i was such an idiot from a health viewpoint. i thought that eating less, only doing cardio, taking energy supplements etc would be how i needed to lose the 10-15lbs i wanted to lose back then.
Nop I didnt had any when I conceived my DD
And I had alot of beanut butter as a part of my sway for my DS
I ate a banana every day plus lots of other fruit and veg and had quite a healthy diet. I didn't eat peanuts and minimised consumption of other nuts but if i wanted to eat them, I would have done.
trying to think of what other 'superfoods' are, I think beetroot is considered a superfood? I ate a lot of beetroot. And broccoli. I probably had avocado once a week (compared to around 3 a week when I conceived my boy!)
But has already been said there are no magic foods. The best advice is to consider what totals work for your lifestyle and stick to those and eat whatever you want in those target totals.
IMO steph did wonderfully on diet - not at all restrictive (which is my preference) and got a girl!!! :)
Thank you so much ladies for all your responses!;-)
This is really interesting and something I never thought of before but, my mom had 4 girls, my eldest sister had 3 girls and my older sister had 4 girls, none of them ever eat bananas or peanut butter. I had 4 sons and ate peanut butter and bananas all the time as a regular part of my diet. :)
