TTC Diet/nutrition?

[BabyConscious]

Just wondering if people have altered their eating habits while TTC? If so what foods are you including regularly?

I am making sure to include regular doses of chia seed, flax seed, quinoa, avocado, egg, salmon, spinach/kale, berries and pumpkin seed.......anyone got any other foods that should be included regularly? I eat redmeat a few times a week and have my daily serves of veggies and I try to eat fruit (but thats one of my biggest challenges)

Mmmmm.....I hate almost everything u listed!!!! The only thing I have changes is ..... No more coffee and if I do it is once or twice a week....compared to thr large frappuchino with four shots of espresso twice a day I used to get ....man talk about a withdrawal caffeine headaches suck!! I also only have wine during my fp.....not I'm my LP....and definitely when I get af. It cheers me up lol. I have started yoga....and I ear six small meals a day. I usually enjoy chicken and shrimp for dinner....not a huge redmeat fan. I can't limit my dairy....I love milk ..... Yogurt and cheesesticks for snacks on the go i...also take a prenatal.

Yeah I take a prenatal too, I still have one cup of coffee per day. If we havent conceived after a few months I will switch to decaf and suffer the headaches. Anyone else altered their diet while TTC?

I'm having sweet potato as I hear it can increase your Chance of twins. I'm also on one (2max coffees) per day. Other than that lots of veg n stuff but we've always had lots of veg

Oooh yeah I forgot about including sweet potato daily, I take an extra dose of folic acid as I also heard higher levels of that were supposed to help twins........thanks for the sweet potato reminder (recipe ideas floating around head)

Aside from taking supplements, I'm really just eating normally and avoiding alcohol and caffeine (except for chocolate! ).
