[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm 18 weeks now but otherwise in the same boat as you! I've made a point to be sure to have something, anything, for breakfast and that has helped with the rest of the day a lot. I've relied on smoothies, overnight oats, and grabbing string cheese on my way out the door in the morning. For lunch and dinner I've really just been trying to listen to my body and go from there. Sometimes tuna salad and then a bowl of cereal is all I want, so I've been trying to just make sure that when I do eat, I make good choices. And I always bring cut up fruit and veggies to work to snack on (I just leave the container out on my desk so I'm more likely to see it and actually eat!). [/quote]

Thanks for your thoughts.  Do you feel you are getting enough calories?  I have always maintained a steady weight but when I really look at what I'm eating it's not that much calorie wise or amount wise (pre-pregnancy).  Now in pregnancy I worry I am not getting enough of the right nutrients or eating enough quantity in general.  For breakfast, I usually have cheese and crackers, but this seems inadequate.  I have never been a snacker, and don't tend to get hungry in between meals.  I'm trying to force feed myself, but this doesn't seem like a great solution either.[/quote]
