Not enough protein and fat

[Rosie85]

okay everyone here is going to think I am sooo picky!! I hate food that doesn't have flavor. Egg whites would make me puke. They have to have garlic and butter and cheese or onions for me to touch them. I have noticed when you doctor food up you run out of fat real fast and then don't make your calories for the day.

Seriously no wonder I have boys. I like food and I make it taste damn good and then I eat a lot of it.

I don't really like just the whites either but if you mix it in with something like rice or baked potato with salt and peper and maybe some herbs it really helps. I Also use Tabasco or salsa to mask the flavor. This diet has been a huge change in the way I cook

oh cool ideas, thanks prayingpink!

I have changed everything about the way I cook too. Not in a good way in my opinion. The thing I like best that has changed is my exercising and not snacking anymore which I def needed to stop. Also we stopped eating out which was full of fat and gave me too many calories for the day. I am excited to incorporate my two lifestyles together after I get pregnant and eat all my old normal food but in a more reserved manner!

Ok with the protein bars, I do think the fortified ones are too fortified but there are the unfortified ones like Larabars and those I believe can fit into a pink sway diet.

oh great I will look into those! I just have some days where I am so short on the dang protein. I HATE eating the same things everyday so there is no finding the right food and sticking to it for me. Today I am good on protein and will have over 30 grams for the day.

[atomic sagebrush]

you need to be over 40 grams. It's 40-50 g for LE Diet. I am not sure where that 30 g protein has come from, several people keep telling me that so I assume maybe IG has that written somewhere but it's wrong. LE Diet minimum is 40-50 g protein and no less than that, it is the minimum safe protein intake for a healthy pregnancy.

a spoonful of pb? wheat bread has 5g of protein per slice- I love eggs but I ate one everyday last time(staying within limits) I was nursing and still trying to eat well but I just think eggs are too darn good for you lol so if i have them it won't be daily. you could have an omelette(w/ or w/o cheese) and all the veggies you mentioned would be a nice lunch.
