Right now, I'm lucky if I can eat anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-bringing-a-suitcase-of-food-to-work-these-days#post-75233 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 13:34:40 +0000 marley 75233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also brought a HUGE bag of snacks with my to work today. There is absolutely nothing healthy in there. Not one thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-bringing-a-suitcase-of-food-to-work-these-days#post-75188 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 12:32:58 +0000 BabyLove 75188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee- that doesn't sound so bad! However, I know toward the end of my pregnancy the doctor advised me to try to restrict my sugary treats. Apparently sugar is like a growth hormone for babies. Eck! Just a friendly warning :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-bringing-a-suitcase-of-food-to-work-these-days#post-75157 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 12:06:03 +0000 autumnlove 75157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would take a reusable grocery bag stuffed with food and snacks! I would also take it home so I could snack during my drive home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-bringing-a-suitcase-of-food-to-work-these-days#post-75150 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 11:57:06 +0000 mrsjazz 75150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to bring a big bag with me to work stuffed with snacks. But over the past 3 weeks I don't have as big of an appetite. (I'm 32 wks). I can't eat as much as I used to because I get stuffed so quickly and then my stomach feels too tight. I had a bowl of cereal at 8 and am finally eating again (a bowl of oatmeal with honey and almonds) at noon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-bringing-a-suitcase-of-food-to-work-these-days#post-75123 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 11:26:34 +0000 winniebee 75123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: This is my *work week* food intake. It's a free for all on the weekends! Also, even though healthy, I am too scared to add up the list of food to see how many calories I'm consuming! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-bringing-a-suitcase-of-food-to-work-these-days#post-75118 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 11:15:47 +0000 chopsuey 75118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HAHA. I used to pack SO MUCH food for lunch when I was pregnant and working. :) heh.<br /> Your list sounds healthy! My lunches and snack.. not so much :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-bringing-a-suitcase-of-food-to-work-these-days#post-75116 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 11:13:22 +0000 winniebee 75116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyLove: Thanks! There is always a dessert after lunch and dinner, too, so not always soooo healthy : ) Lunch is usually just a piece of chocolate or a cookie. After dinner, I usually have a small bowl of ice cream. Lately, obsessed with Ben and Jerry's banana split ice cream.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-bringing-a-suitcase-of-food-to-work-these-days#post-75110 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 11:04:41 +0000 BabyLove 75110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not pregnant now but I do recall always coming to work with a TON of snacks, but not necessarily the healthiest ones. I felt so ridiculous but it beat the alternative- being hungry all day. The great thing about your list of snacks, is that they're healthy, so rock on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-bringing-a-suitcase-of-food-to-work-these-days#post-75094 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 10:46:04 +0000 jennylynn 75094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, my lunch box is pretty embarrassing :/ And I'm totally noticing a difference in our grocery bill since becoming pregnant. I really hope my appetite returns to normal once the baby is here and I'm done breastfeeding! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-bringing-a-suitcase-of-food-to-work-these-days#post-75024 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 08:42:23 +0000 Rubies 75024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was pregnant, I was ALWAYS eating and my friends would ask me what was in my "fridge" that day - that being my ginormous lunch bag. I'd eat like, six pieces of fruit, veggies and dip, leftover pizza, crackers, and half a bagel in one sitting! It was crazy! Luckily, my hunger tapered off a little. Whew! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-bringing-a-suitcase-of-food-to-work-these-days#post-75021 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 08:26:41 +0000 winniebee 75021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am sooo hungry lately (25.5 wks!) The lunches that I'm bringing to work these days are enormous. Today:</p> <p>(Mind you, I already ate a bowl of cereal, OJ, and coffee, before I left the house).</p> <p>- pig's fly bread (for toast)<br /> - banana<br /> - apple<br /> - chobani yogurt<br /> - tuna sandwich<br /> - chips<br /> - pickles<br /> - V8<br /> - nuts<br /> - pita chips<br /> - hummus<br /> - water</p> <p>I can barely carry it all! Also, I have snacks in my drawer in case of emergency (fiber one bars, goldfish, crackers, girl scout cookies, candy...) </p>
