Hello ladies Im over from the TTC a girl board to get some ideas on meals. Im a typical boy mum and have 3 gorgeous little men but DH would really like our final one to be his much wanted DD and so we are going to attempt to sway. I am doing the LE diet but wondered if you ladies would share with me some idea of your usual daily eating habits or favourite meals so i can see if i can come up with some new ideas for what im eating just in case im on it for a few more months.
Thanks ladies.

I have two girls and I would say I ate alot of carbs and dairy, and drank alot of coke. If I decided to eat breakfast in the morning somtimes I would have a sugary cereal or pancakes/waffles. No snack after breakfast, lunch was usually ones of those lean cusine meals that you get in the frozen food section, no sack after that and if I did it was probably junk food, and dinner ranged from sometimes meat to pasta, really whatever I wanted. I never had 3 complete meals a day though. Sometimes I would only have 1 meal if I was too busy.

I have 2DD and with both of them I was dieting. DD1 was conceived 1 month after my wedding so I was my skinniest actually too skinny for my height, never ate breakfast. DD2 I was on a starvation diet because I had to fit into a dress for an event, I would eat a fruit and coffee for breakfast or just coffee and then a meal for lunch, meat/salad/sandwich/omelet and for dinner it would be yogurt and nuts but dinner was at 4pm, no snacks in between and only water after 4. Oh I forgot to mention I was a coffee and diet drink addict.

With my DD, I really never ate breakfast. I didn't eat a lot of solid meals at all and was super thin (naturally petite). I remember drinking a lot of diet coke and snacking a lot. Also a lot of skipping dinner and going out for cocktails with my friends.

I ate a lot and snacked a lot, BUT it was all crappy, non-nutritional stuff like sweets and carbs, hardly any protein, so I am sure my blood sugar was all over the place!

I ate lots of low fat, sugar free stuff. Egg whites and low carb/calorie toast if I ate breakfast and a sandwich and tiny bit of fruit for lunch. I weighed and calculated everything eating no more then 1500-1800 calories per day, 200-300 per meal. It's no wonder I have 3 beautiful ladies

Lots of white bread all day and plenty of sweets. I literally went from one processed sugar high to the next! If it wasnt toast it was another bar of chocolate, all day. Then for dinner possibly a few bits of more bread dipped in what ever sauce the family was having or a pasta dish, heavy on the pasta
