Yeah, OK, I also ate starburst like it was my job, but OP only asked about the healthy stuff.

I went to grocery stores to get dinner instead of eating out, had plain oatmeal for breakfast every day and tried to snack on fruit as much as possible during the day. Also got a massive water bottle and tried to refill it 2-3 times throughout the day.

I didn’t really change my diet much but tried to eat high fat and avoid sugar and carbs that weren’t rice/grains or oats. So breakfast would have oatmeal or eggs/avocado. Salad for lunch. Dinner varied depending on if I was traveling or at home. But did eat a lot of pho. Agree on the water. Towards the end of pregnancy I didn’t eat as many big meals, but lots of small meals throughout the day (you run out of space!!). Remember you don’t actually need that many extra calories.

I worked out up until the very end. I had to do moderations and take it slower, but kept up my usual routine. So, don’t start a new regime, but keep doing what you normally do (just listen to your body, it will tell you when to slow down). Remember it will help a lot with labor and recovery. I also saw a chiropractor the last couple months once I stopped traveling which helped a ton with lower back pain

I stocked up on healthy snacks from Whole Foods for the team room (nuts, fruit, granola bars, seaweed). Breakfast was a hard boiled egg and some oatmeal. Stir fry, soup or salad for lunch - although I had an aversion to salad for a while. Dinner I ordered daal (lentil curry) from an Indian restaurant or a salad with some protein. I also worked out up until the end but shifted to prenatal yoga and walks by the last few weeks when I wasn’t traveling anymore. The elliptical was great though when I was traveling. Agreed with the water bottle comments. Good luck!

God everyone here making me feel guilty here (in my second tri). I’m local but work has been absolutely nuts this past month, workouts have gone out the window and giving myself a break about carbs since they are one of the few things that I want to eat when semi-nauseous. Just do your best and try to get lots of water and sleep - also easier said than done

I still am working out 5 days a week, oatmeal for breakfast, healthy lunch and then I let my body tell me what it needs for dinner. If that’s a huge buttery bowl of pasta and bread and a root beer so be it. I have found if I don’t work out I feel like a dumpster fire

Definitely agreed on the big water bottle. Hydration is key. Having fresh fruit and granola bars on hand.... fruit so you can east something healthy and granola bars so you always have something on hand. Breakfast plain oatmeal or a nice veggie omelet. Lunch and dinner out my biggest worry was salt. There are always healthy-ish options like salmon, chicken, soup and salad. Salt is the part I most worried about and I don’t have a great suggestion there. You can try asking the waiter to tell the chef to go easy on the salt but sadly so many places premake the food so that may be hard

Oh and you can go on small walks periodically during the day around the client site, parking lot, whatever. You can also do prenatal yoga in your hotel room if you are into that. And of course pack your prenatal!

I did the same as PL1. Pretty much avoided carbs, with the exception of gluten free steel cut oats some mornings. Don’t be afraid of good fats, your body and baby need it!

Starbucks Oatmeal every morning. Stopped by a grocery store for pre cut fruit, drinkable yogurt, trail mix. If I had a busy day, I'd order extra food at dinner the night before and bring it for lunch. Can't skip meals!

Granola bars are super convenient but just check the sugar content. Some of them are hardly better than a candy bar. I liked Rx bars for convenience but usually tried to stick to real food

I did the same as H1 in third trimester. I figured if I kept 2/3 of meals healthy and kept moving, I didn’t need to fight the cravings (which for me ran the gamut from tropical fruits to peanut butter to steak. I figured it was my body telling me what it was lacking)
