Need advice! I’m pregnant and trying not to gain so much weight this time. Last pregnancy was too much! Over 40lbs and I have a small frame. I’ve been Peating for almost a year and I simply cannot get full without fat. My intake is pretty consistently high carb, mod protein and mod fat. Like today Cronometer said my protein was around 148 g, fat 117g, and carbs from mostly sugar/milk/fruit 253g. Total calories 2695. I’m 5’4” and at 17 weeks pregnant I’m 140. Im moderately active, simply chasing my small kids around!
Breakfast is usually a creamsicle, coffee and sugar, two eggs and bacon. Lunch is a toss up and I struggle if there isn’t leftovers. Maybe cheese and coconut oil fried plantains and some pickles, or a masa tortilla with cheese, sometimes I break down and have sourdough with lunch meat. I really want to eliminate starches! I can’t seem to get full after breakfast and struggle badly with lunches. I loooove cheddar cheese, the purer aged varieties but super high fat. If I haven’t had enough nutrition and opt for coffee in milk I tend to get an afternoon headache until a good dinner is had. Tonight’s dinner was white fish, roasted buttternut squash and a tiny amount of white rice. Dessert was Häagen-Dazs!!! I almost always consume over a quart of milk a day. Any advice for decreasing fat appreciated. I hate skimming my raw milk but maybe I should just get used to it?
Thanks!
