[quote=jindc]It's very early for me, but I'm still trying to figure out how to feed my pregnant self.  We're mostly vegetarian (I eat chicken once a week, husband eats fish once a week), but I've been adding meat here and there (maybe 2-3 times a week vs 1). 
My problem comes from what to eat during the day.

I don't have severe morning sickness or anything (I get mild nausea but nothing major).  Every morning I have a protein smoothie - vegan protein powder, greek yogurt, almond milk and a blue/red fruit like blueberries or cherries. During the work day, I have a high fiber english muffin with almond butter, some fruit, and snacks like a fiber one bar, raw almonds, greek yogurt, and maybe some oatmeal if I'm hungry. If I crave a mid-day sweet I have a non-fat steamer at the Starbucks at work.  Dinners are easy for me as I love to cook, but my husband eats a lot and we rarely have leftovers.  I made delicious carrot chickpea soup last night and he ate it all!

I'm trying VERY hard to eat healthy - I lost a lot of weight over the last 2 years and have steadily put more than I wanted to back on during my IVF.  I'm a very active person and have had to stop working out besides the treadmill for over a month now.  It sucks.

I don't know how to fuel my body for pregnacy. Are there staples I should have at my desk besides oatmeal and almonds? What do you have during the day?  What do you pack for lunch?  Inspire me.  I feel like I'm not doing well on feeding us.  It's very early, like I said, and often I'm not hungry enough for a meal so I snack.
