I've been needing empty calories and a bit of protein , so I've been eating a ton of gummy bears, worms - you name itthey're actually a good protein fix, surprisingly! is this a bad idea since they are mostly gelatin, though?

I'm thinking as long as you are within limits they would be okay, but since it is a "boy" food that might be different?? Hopefully Atomic will be able to chime in. I know I ate a lot of jello for empty calories and that has quite a bit of gelatin.

DUE February 28th 2017 with a BOY! Didn't get a chance to sway for another girl, but this little guy really wanted to be apart of our family. We love him already!

The blue swayers have to drink A LOT of gelatin and even then it's not totally clear if it's doing anything. I think they're ok in moderation. They do have ones without gelatin, I think they're pectin based.
My concern is more that you're calling it "protein". Gummy bears aren't food and a diet where you're getting a bulk of your protein from gummy bears, that's not a healthy pre-pregnancy diet.!!! Questions??

Ha, I should have clarified - definitely not getting the bulk of my protein from them - it's just nice to have some extra grams when I'm right under 40.

Ok great! I occasionally get people who are doing nutty things (like eat nothing but gummy bears) so I just had to make sure!
