Let's Talk Snacks

[vivela]

I'm enjoying that fun combo of nausea and being violently hungry all the time. I definitely feel much sicker if I let myself get too hungry. What are your standby snacks? I teach, so I have to snack quickly and discreetly. I can't go from 8-12 with nothing to eat anymore, but I also can't eat anything too disruptive. 
I bought almonds and some dried mango, both of which were pretty good. What are you guys keeping on hand? 

[shoogars]

Cheese and crackers, sucking on a hard candy can push off hunger for me...that's all I can think of for now...nothing sounds very good to me:(

I would probably eat my arm if all I had were almonds and dried mangos. Kudos to you. Until heartburn/nausea sets in, I snack on pepperoni, toast, multigrain or animal crackers, hummus, chocolate, protein bars, and whatever my child doesn't eat (but hasn't yet thrown on the floor). When nausea decides to join us, we'll do lots of animal crackers and peppermint.

Hard candy here as well.
And carbs seem to help, dry cereal like Cheerios and shreddies, crackers, pita (and hummus!)....
Cookies and donuts too of course, im just thinking of the more discreet snacks...

Goldfish-both the regular cheese ones and also honey graham

Protein was key with my last pregnancy. Eggs, beans, meat, nuts and seeds. I keep snacks in my car to eat on the way home.

[athn64]

Toast, hard candy, granola bars.

I really like these:

They have them at Target & Whole Foods. There is also a chocolate flavored one that is AWESOME and a cinnamon that's pretty good too. They're really nice for when I'm tired of Almonds.

With DD I always had those peanut butter snack pack things in my purse or the classroom. Maybe not quiet enough but it held me off until lunch really well. I taught kindergarten though and didn't have a problem snacking in front of them since they ate breakfast in the classroom and we all had snack a couple hours after lunch. Maybe a breakfast bar would be quieter. Or like pp said goldfish crackers are small and easy to pop a couple in your mouth. I also had hard candies too.

I have a pile of fig bars in my purse and I keep animal crackers in my work bag.

When I'm at home cheese, and hummus and crackers are my obsessions.

Rice crackers, mini saltines and granola are all in my desk. I sneak bites between classes to keep the nausea at bay.

Sour patch kids and granola bars were my go to last time around. Almost time to stock up again.

[soultrane]

I just stocked up last night:

Mini muffins
White cheddar rice cakes
Chicken noodle soup (not really a snack but soup is about all I can stomach this week as far as real food goes)
Oatmeal
Winto-green life savers
And these things - they're delicious and light:

[Flair Underwood]

Apples with sunflower butter
Greek yogurt
Cheese sandwich crackers
Cheerios

For me sugar is just setting me off so i'm trying to keep to pretty natural simple snacks. Sipping on peppermint tea throughout the day is also a lifesaver!

I've been more or less living off of cheese and crackers since the MS kicked in, but yesterday I added some almonds and dried fruit (dates, apricots) because I'm sooooooo constipated. Those seem to be sitting okay in my belly too and may have slightly more nutritional value.

[sandandsea]

Cracker, granola bars, preggie pops, cheese, yogurt.

I'm hooked on the new smart food delight sea salt popcorn. It's buttery and salty and crunchy and it only has 35 calories/serving.

I've also been eating a lot of Kind bars (love the dark chocolate, nuts and sea salt), Kind granola bars (the "Popped" variety are addictive), rice cakes with peanut butter or cheese, and pretty much anything else I can get my hands on.

[babyzebra]

Cheerios and unsalted saltine crackers work best for me.

It depends on the day. I usually keep bella vita breakfast biscuits and grapes around.

That said, yesterday my "snack" was 1/4 of a chocolate cake that I bought for myself.

You're doing pregnancy right.

[titania]

Peanut butter crackers and ginger hard candies.

[teggy20]

Cereal. So much cereal. And also, sharp cheddar cheese and oranges. And ICE WATER. I can't drink enough water during the day.
