Every 2 hours I eat something. I have to eat small meals. With my first one I was working full time and I had to bring a shopping bag of food to work with me daily! The girls laughed at my stash at the office. I try to eat an egg or two every day and keep the protein up. Also tons of fruits/veggies daily. TG I'm not craving bacon this time. That was a stinky craving last time.
I too am loosing weight...I have no appetite but I am making myself eat and eating almost non stop but still have lost 10# (I'm 11wks)...try protein bars and protein shakes...and fruits and veggies. Good luck, hopefully you start gaining weight soon.
Eat regular small sized meals / snacks (every 3 - 4 hours). Snacks/meals should always contain protein and healthy fats - carbs mostly from vegetables, nuts, unsweetened dairy. Thisdm should help keep your blood sugar stable.
Are you on any medications? Have you had any testing by your Dr? Do you monitor blood sugar after eating? When are you seeing these lower numbers?
Always make sure you eat some protein with each snack, as that keeps you feeling fuller and helps build muscles.
You could have an apple with some peanut butter; you could have a protein shake, made with any kind of fruit. Yogurt makes an excellent snack, celery with cheese or peanut butter (make sure you keep the peanut butter servings in check, though because it does have a lot of fat). Cut up veggies with hummus are good.
i am losing the battle against calorie intake. I know you're not supposed to go over 2,200 calories per day..... but how? Every once in a while I go over and I'll feel super guilty. I do protein shakes, protein bars, healthy snacks and no meals and extra water. I don't regularly give in to cravings either. It is hard when all I can think about is my next snack. What do you do to stay under 2,200? Any recommendations to ease the pain of the calorie count?
I had the same problem my Dr told me to eat lots of protein and eat high protein snacks. I'm already on a high fiber diet because of digestive issues. It actually helped a lot.

t associate as being fruits, such as nuts (not peanuts, which are legumes) and seeds, which are high in protein but can also be high in fat. Though eating a moderate amount actually cuts cholesterol and might even lead to weight loss, calorie obsessed diets often exclude them. Squash is also a fruit, though we usually think of it as a vegetable, just as tomatoes are a fruit but many people think it's a vegetable.
If you don't think you're gaining enough you should try a supplement shake or drink....boost, enfimil or even carnation instant breakfast....they are all descent tasting and have many many flavors to choose from.
Doc said it was stress but when I hired a Nutritionist she found that my meals and snacks were low in Protein and high in Carbs. It was only when I started having a high Protein diet that my stress levels dropped and the shakiness has subsided.

All my lab work has been fine but I eat alot of red meat or try too for the iron.
Hello ladies, I work in a retail center and have been told to eat small snacks throughout the day. The first, middle and end of the month we are so swammped! How do tall manage to get some snacks in or do you eat just 2-3 big meals? I'm obsessed with washing my hands due to money handling and equipment (returns), I do however sometimes take fruit like watermelon and melon to snack on and eat with a fork instead...any suggestions?
t have more than 1-2 servings of fruit in a day. Try to eat higher protein foods as protein suppresses hunger and lasts longer. Try getting a protein powder and make a protein shake about 45 min before lunch and dinner to help curb your hunger. Last thing you want to do is starve your body, all that will do is cause your body to hold onto calories and also create other health issues and bad habits.
