Pass The Peanuts

Question: I'm 10 weeks pregnant, starving, and need food ideas!? OK, I feel like I'm eating all the time, yet I'm always starving. My biggest problem is during the day at work. I eat a lot of fruit and veggies (grapes, oranges, carrot sticks, cold green beans), but those things don't fill me up! I also eat yogurt, some leftovers from dinner like chicken or spaghetti, etc, and goldfish, and pistacios, and pudding, and candy bar, etc, etc. None of these things fill me up. I get done eating, and I'm STILL hungry. When I go out to lunch and get Subway or something I'm fine, but I don't always have time for that. I don't want to eat peanut butter and jelly, because I don't want to pass peanut allergies on to my baby, and I can't eat cold cuts because of lysteria (or whatever it is.) Oh, weight really isn't a concern for me, as I haven't gain anything yet. - maybe a pound. Anyone have any advice for daytime hunger?

Answer: Try taking your lunch to work in which it sounds like you do any way. With your yogurt put in some granola . Take a packet of oatmeal ,Oatmeal is very filling. When you pack the other stuff like spaghetti or main meal just add more. Think of filling type of foods like grains and nuts and pastas. You can also consider taking small microwave meals to eat for snack. I hope this helps you.
