I am 14 weeks tomorrow and I have this insatiable hunger. I cannot explain it.
A little background on me. I'd lost 125lbs through diet and exercise. Had two miscarriages and ate 50lbs back (emotional eating, yay!). I'd lost 15 of the 50 before getting pregnant this time. I was still about 50'ish pounds from my goal. I'm VERY conscious of what I'm eating and trying desperately not to gain a ton of excess weight throughout this pregnancy. I actually ran a half marathon the day I found out Im pregnant this time. I'm used to training and eating clean, but I've NEVER experienced hunger on this level.
My Dr. said he'd like to see me gain 18lbs. I'm going to gain 100lbs if I can't get this hunger under control.
I eat a meal and I'm ravenous within 30 minutes. I'm forcing myself 6to wait 2'ish hours before eating again. I'm not eating junk. Here's what today has looked like:
5am Gym - 30 minutes elliptical (burned ~250kcal)
545am Post workout protein shake (~200kcal)
7am Breakfast: greek yogurt, strawberries & high protein granola. (~300kcal)
930am Snack: Chobani Flip Greek Yogurt (200kcal)
1130am Lunch: Roasted veggies and a chicken breast. (~300kcal)
130pm Snack: Bell Peppers, carrots, hummus, couple rice cakes and pickles. (~300kcal)
I'm at 1300'ish calories at it's only 3pm. And I'm hungry AGAIN!!! I want to cry I am so frustrated.
Anyone else here trying not to gain a ton of excess weight and loosely tracking their food/exercise?
Have you found any good foods that are helping curb your ravenous ways?
