[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ouch.  I'm hungry just looking at that.  That sounds like a very limiting diet and one that isn't very appealing.  Have you checked out a reputable and researched program like weight watchers?[/quote]

I don't need to lose weight.  I'm just trying to swap my current diet of muffins, coffee drinks, candy, and other food grazed throughout the day (I usually don't stop and eat a meal until dinner) with something more fertility-friendly.  The consensus seems to be that it isn't enough food but it is more than I eat now at a normal weight.  Maybe I have a cruddy metabolism?[/quote]

No, it's probably not that you have a cruddy metabolism.  It's that you're not caring about the nutritional value what you put into your body.  If you're going to support a healthy pregnancy,yes, you probably should eat healthier foods than muffins and coffee and candy.  And once you have a baby in your arms, you will constantly be thinking about healthy foods to sustain you and baby all day long.  But switching to sautéed veggies and fruit from muffins isn't going to be easy - or likely sustainable.  What about going to a salad bar for lunch and piling on fresh veggies and some chicken or egg for some protein?  What about a wrap sandwich with protein and veggies?  Do you have to pack a lunch every day?  What's wrong with microwaveable meals ala EVOL or Amy's?  Switching from sodas and coffee to lemonade and water is somewhat easy.  Sounds like maybe you need to consult a nutritionist and see how your lifestyle choices around eating can be made simpler and less carb-y and sugary.  The diet you outlined sounds bleh and uninspiring.[/quote]
