What are your cravings (healthy or not)? I've been crazy for Greek yogurt and also fruit. But also chocolate...I had a sweet tooth pre-pregnancy and I'm constantly reminded of it!

Kettle chips. Ceraeal with Greek yogurt. Orange juice. The occasional milkshake. Cottage cheese. Good stuff and not so good stuff, just like always
I actually feel like my cravings are less healthy when I'm breastfeeding.., maybe because the heartburn subsides and I can tolerate more garbage?0 -
Besides my usual sweet tooth cravings, my unusual craving was having a carbonated beverages, pizza, and tomato juice. Those have slowed down for me, but doesn't mean that it's still been hard to back away from, haha.0

Pizza's a big one for me too! We're going to make homemade tomorrow. For savory foods, I've been craving spicy stuff more than normal. Same foods, just kicked up a notch. I also polished off a small tub of coconut yogurt throughout the afternoon. I didn't realize how much of it I had until it was gone...whoops!0

I'm all about the acidic, sour and spicy foods right now (I love spicy in general). Grapefruit juice, Mexican food, tomatoes, oranges, spicy crab rolls, curry... ALL over it!0
-
Other than the occasional chocolate, I didn't have any cravings yet! Last pregnancy it was lemon and cucumber. Let's see what it would be this time around0

All I wanted for about 12 weeks of my pregnancy was turkey sandwiches and apples.
Now that I'm nursing all I want is chocolate.0 -
Burgers....constantly! That's really my only unhealthy craving (the others are fruit and milk)....but it definitely drives me crazy! At least there are healthy burger places around here that sell veggie burgers and turkey burgers if I am high in calories for the day. I will learn to trick this craving! :laugh:0

No cravings yet.. i'm 18+1 and still nothing is very palatable.0
-
Sushi, pizza, chocolate milk, turkey sandwiches from subway, indian food, thai food... basically anything with carbs! The bad part is that I have gestational diabetes- so I can't indulge- boo!0

This week is Cutie oranges.0

Fruit and peanut butter. Peanut butter on everything, haha. Salty foods with the occasional ice cream craving. For about a month, I had a major craving for clementines and ate probly 6-8/day.0
-
I've eaten a ridiculous amount of tomatoes this pregnancy, and a lot more chocolate than usual.0
-
Grapefruits and ice cream (I know this one is BAD) LOL. I have to have at least one grapefruit a day and if I don't I feel weird. Oh and lemon water. It taste like juice to me. I have to have a big cup first thing in the morning.0
-
I really want Sushi and spicy food. I also have been wanting soda more than usual but it makes me feel sick after so I don't drink too much. But probably my big one is PEANUT BUTTER. I have it for meals and snacks.0
-
I've got a new craving...Gooey cheesy things (like nacho cheese) and something spicy. Trying to watch the sodium, so off to the store this weekend for nacho cheese ingredients to make from scratch0
-
Can I really be craving pickles? Yeah, yeah I am. I looked it up and apparently I could have a salt or potassium deficiency. I looked at my nutrition stats and it shows me low every week on potassium. Prenatal vitamin is just not making it up. I will have to start buying potassium rich foods to add into my diet.
I cannot get eggplant parm with lots of gooey cheese off my mind. It's as if I become totally obsessed with eating something unattainable and that just makes the craving unbearable.0 -

Coconut water is supposed to be a good source... Just started drinking it. I can't hit my potassium either. I wonder where the recommendations come from.
And eggplant parm is definitely something I have indulged in several times this pregnancy.0 -
I will check out the coconut water. I have been using silk coconut milk but it doesn't give me any potassium in MFP. According to the nutritional info on the carton it has 45 mg per 1 cup serving. Still way too low to complete my day.0

Oranges (blood oranges right now) and cheesy things. Pizza, quesadillas, cheese burgers, nachos, cheesesteaks, CHEESE, CHEESE, CHEESE! And I'm lactose intolerant, so it's really amping up the gas factor.0

The brands I've looked at have 200 to 500 potassium per serving, not sure why there is such a difference, just comparing labels on Amazon. I have some coming today, it's supposed to be good to drink during labor.0
