People want to move away from healthy eating because often, healthy eating is described as difficult to follow, cook and afford. Fortunately for your pregnant self, that is not the case.
Eating well means that you have to make it easy, and certainly delicious, as well as including the food the child needs and that will stop your wishes for other unnecessary foods.
The best diet plan during pregnancy is not a diet – you do not reduce the amount of food you eat, but increase the better choices of food.
Below is a list of different options for breakfast, lunch and dinner for you. You can mix and match them so you do not get bored and respond to what you want to eat.
Do not forget that you have to follow the safety rules of what you eat:
- Stay away from everything that is raw unless it is a fruit or vegetable.
- Make sure your eggs are cooked until they are heavy and the meat is thoroughly cooked.
- Snacking options will give you your ideas on what to eat between the three main dishes, so that the level of sugar and nutrients is as regular as possible.
