Should I been feeling guilty after eating a McDonalds meal?

Don't feel guilty! Just carry on eating healthily and having treats when you feel like them. I've been getting lots of veg and lean protein but I had a burger van burger (probs much worse than mcDs really!!) at the weekend. Nothing much has changed about the way I eat really!

Wow! I'm usually a big McDonald's fan, actually had breakfast there yesterday, but just reading about the Big mac and nuggets sent me running to the bathroom! This is my 5th pregnancy, and I've NEVER been this easily nauseated! I walk into a room with a wierd smell, or hear someone talking about certain foods, and wham! Plus, I've never had ANY symptoms at just 4 weeks before! But I have been this way since a couple days before my missed period. I wonder what that means. I can't eat ANYTHING it seems.
So I say, if you were able to eat McDonald's food, GOOD FOR YOU! At least you're eating! Don't feel bad about it. We all do the best we can. First trimester especially, anything you're able to keep down is good news.

I ate double cheeseburgers pretty much everyday with James

If you're eating healthy then a treat is fine!

Maccy's is totally fine! In fact, I'm craving a BK now...too bad hubby left for work and I dont have a car or I would be having a couple of whoppers

Hi everyone,

I'm 11 weeks pregnant, it is my first pregnancy so I joined this forum to get some help, and to meet others who are pregnant, and new mums.

One of the questions I have is about my diet, what should I eat, but mainly, what shouldn't I eat !! ... for example, like the Big Mac meal + 9 nuggets I ate today, was that too bad?

I eat healthily day to day, but I do have a big desire for a lot of chocolate, desserts an hamburgers.

thanks,

YES! Shame! JUST TEASING you (I am feeling a little silly right now)

Actually, no, because there are way too many pregnant women in the U.S. who sneak in a McDonald food now and then and they have healthy kids.

For me, I can't eat greasy food. It makes me very sick.(acid reflux for one thing, and I think I have ulcers as well) so I don't eat there. I go to chick-fil-A instead. Love their grilled chicken sandwiches.

Thank you ladies, I feel much better after reading all of your comments!! I will try to be more relaxed about food now, eat healthily as much as I can, but still have my naughty cravings fulfilled every now and then.

Thanks,
