    smoothies with fruit, kale, oj and frozen fruit (if you can stomach it add some whole milk)
    apples and peanut butter
    hummus and carrots/celery/pretzels/pita chips
    frozen bananas with peanut butter
    eggs... fried, scrambled or hard boiled with whatever toppings you like, throw them in a burrito with some veggies and salsa

    You really really don't need to worry about putting on weight because you are pregnant! Think of all those ladies who lose loads because they have hyper emesis.

    Your baby will get all the nutrients before you do, so if you are just not hungry (my twin pregnancy I lost two stone I was nauseous all the time and had no appetite. Babies were and are fine!) try and have cream in your coffee, a bit more butter on your toast?

    You really don't need to worry about hitting a goal of a pound a week, although if you are worried talk to your doctor.

    ^^that came from my consultant by the way, not just making it up!
