In the past few months I have completely changed the way I cook and eat, as it is now even more important to start having nutritious, well-balanced meals.
You shouldn't be eating for two in this period; you should only consume about 300 more calories per day than you did before you became pregnant.
Daily meals should include a variety of foods from the four main food groups- Fruits and vegetables, carbohydrates, Foods rich in protein and Dairy foods.
I try to start my day with a healthy breakfast which includes healthy cereal, breakfast biscuits, fruits, milk and nuts.
For healthy snacking I prefer eating fruits, nuts and salads in-between my main meals. If I am at home I try to cook something for myself as a tasty alternative.
For lunch and dinner I prefer consuming carbs like whole wheat bread, rice, pasta, chapati’s along with vegetables.
I try and include chicken, eggs and fish in my meals every week.
My list of top ten best pregnancy foods includes Eggs, Salmon, all kinds of pulses, Spinach, broccoli and whole grain foods, Walnuts, Greek yogurt, Asparagus, Chicken, Colorful fruits and veggies
Foods that I am strictly avoiding in pregnancy are liver and liver products, processes food, fizzy drinks, foods containing MSG (monosodium glutamate), all kinds of junk food, deep fried oily food, foods that are high in sugar & fat, soft cheese, sushi, fish that are high in mercury etc.
