With both my pregnancies, I've had aversions to meat and eggs. I just cannot tolerate them! Usually, if I need to eat but everything sounds gross, I'll eat some yogurt or drink a fruit smoothie.

My only food aversion was plain, white, steamed rice (and I'm Asian!). I couldn't stand the smell of it steaming away...Looking at it made me vomit (they looked like maggots to me)...And the taste was gummy and gag worthy. This last all of the first trimester. As soon as I was well into my pregnancy, the aversion disappeared and I was back to normal. :o)

@andreaon: me too! I would always turn to frozen waffles because it was one of the few things I could eat.

At 21 weeks, I'm still only eating limited portions of meat... the look and smell of raw and cooked meat still is unpleasant to me. I use to be such a meat lover too! Now I have to supplement by eating yogurt, tofu, cheeses, etc. in order to get enough protein.
