[quote=jindc]Op, I looooved to cook before pregnancy. I now can't stand dealing with meal planning - thinking that far in advance isn't working and I hate it because I really do enjoy cooking. My husband only knows how to scramble eggs. I do cook sometimes and am happy it's summer because produce is amazing. Burger night (salmon for him, grilled chicken for me) with boiled corn on the cob, some side salad. Tomato, basil, mozzarella salad. Gazpacho is often in my fridge and I add avocado to it before eating. All are very easy to make. I make tuna salad (I limit it to once a week) and you could easily do it with chicken I am trying to limit carbs and balancing that by foregoing counting fat to a degree. Sweet green is a good to go place, but I personally try to avoid prepared food right now. One thing you could get is a supermarket roasted chicken - just reheat it in the oven to make sure its cooked through. The leftovers are good. Snacks on hand at all times for me are greek yogurt, kind bars, small cottage cheese containers, and organic string cheese. I try to have a smoothie every morning with a smoothie of almond milk, frozen banana chunks, Greek yogurt, and a fruit (sometimes ill add chocolate syrup and peanut butter). If I can do those things, anyone can! Set small cooking goals, make extra of everything, and keep snacks on hand that will keep crazy hunger at bay. Good luck, you aren't alone. Think of this as a good time to try to learn some cooking skills you can keep up when hu have a kid if you so desire. [/quote]
