It's not a lot of food, but enough that I stay full for a while, and they are fairly healthy (lots of veggies and spinach). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-lady-lunches#post-2274247 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 05:49:16 +0000 FaithFertility 2274247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: I am a teacher too<br /> Last year I would have a fruit and Greek yogurt at planning<br /> and a salad with some kind of meat or a wrap </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-lady-lunches#post-2274246 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 05:47:41 +0000 pachamama 2274246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone use Bento boxes? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-lady-lunches#post-2265223 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 14:21:32 +0000 blackbird 2265223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Leftovers, sandwiches, and protein bars.

The thing that works best for me is healthy dinner leftovers. Chili, baked chicken, Boca burger with brown rice, whole wheat spaghetti with added veggies, sweet potato, egg bakes, Greek yogurt, pumpkin flax muffins,etc. Refined carbs make me sluggish and hungry quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-lady-lunches#post-2260045 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 15:02:08 +0000 MaryM 2260045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: Target also has the mini bagels in the bread aisle with the regular bagels </p> <p>If you don't have the cartwheel ap yet, download it.

Just individual serving yogurts. Not the big container. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-lady-lunches#post-2260003 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 13:42:21 +0000 AmandaB8 2260003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>clementines, babybel cheese, hummus and crackers, granola bars, and string cheese are my favorites. </p> <p>If I'm feeling munchie, but can't decide what I want, I go for apple slices with pb, honey, and sea salt. Yum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-lady-lunches#post-2259996 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 13:29:01 +0000 travellingbee 2259996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickle: mini yogurt cups?! What are those??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-lady-lunches#post-2259980 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 13:20:53 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2259980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to eat "snack plates" for lunch. I'll have things like cheese, pickles, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, carrots, celery, peaches, berries, olives, lunch meat, crackers, etc. I've also been loving salads. Some days I just eat leftovers. </p> <p>For snacks I really like the soft Cliff bars. They come in lots of flavors. I buy a lot of mini Chobani greek yogurt cups too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-lady-lunches#post-2259961 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 13:05:02 +0000 brady80 2259961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy tons of fruit at the beginning of the week, cut it up and put it into containers. I usually take a few different fruits, yogurt and granola as my snacks. I've been craving soup lately, which is totally odd since it's 90 degrees! When I'm at work, I tend to leave snacks there, since I never know what I want. So I'll get a few different dried fruits, trail mix (with chocolate) and peanut butter crackers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-lady-lunches#post-2259953 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 13:01:23 +0000 ms.line 2259953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>KIND bars, Babybel cheese, roasted chickpeas, lots of fruit, bagel thins with cream cheese or hummus or tabbouleh, single serving microwave popcorn.</p> <p>ETA: When I'm looking for something hot, I like Dr. McDougall's noodle soups or ramen. I order them on Amazon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-lady-lunches#post-2259924 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 12:49:50 +0000 jhd 2259924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was pregnant I was also in the classroom all day. I loved veggies &amp; hummus, triscuits and string cheese, mini bagels with cream cheese, fruit of any kind. Cuties and fresh pineapple were the ones I craved most. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-lady-lunches#post-2259918 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 12:42:44 +0000 travellingbee 2259918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots of good ideas here!

I also drank like 2 gallons of water per day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-lady-lunches#post-2259900 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 12:27:25 +0000 Anya 2259900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: oh they're in the bakery section of my grocery store! i bet you could find them frozen too though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-lady-lunches#post-2259899 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 12:27:06 +0000 Miss Ariel 2259899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Beef jerky and mixed nuts, especially once I had gestational diabetes and most carbs were off limits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-lady-lunches#post-2259897 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 12:25:57 +0000 travellingbee 2259897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anya: mmmm mini-bagels.... where did you get them?

Daily I usually bring single serve bags of pirates booty or the mini pringles containers, a granola bar, and planter's protein mix train mix (I like the dried blueberry/nut/granola mix a lot). I get all of them at target. Target also carries individual size bags of their monster mix trail mix. and I usually have a piece of fruit or two. I don't always eat all the snacks, but will store leftovers in my desk and replenish the next day. </p> <p>Breakfast is usually yogurt and granola, then lunch is leftovers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-lady-lunches#post-2259883 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 12:13:34 +0000 travellingbee 2259883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 19 weeks and going back to work (teacher) this week. I tend to be a grazer when pregnant and still get nauseous if I don't eat very often. Feeling like I need some inspiration for foods that got you through work when pregnant before I go food shopping. What are your go-to lunch foods and/or snack foods for work? I have a fridge and microwave in my room. </p>
