pregnant and struggling with intake

[rachie152]

I have never been a massive eater. I eat mainly junk food but my calorie intake was always constant.

I am now 14weeks pregnant and finding it so difficult tto get even a measley 800 calories into my day and i know this isnt good for me or the growing baby.

I am fusy with alot of foods eg chicken, fish and salads.

Its also not helping that i have developed a slight fear of vomitting so i tend to avoid high carb based meals as they are really unpleasant on the way up sorry tmi! So atm im on soups and smoothies and fruit but finding it hard to hit my daily intake

any advice welcome?

Also i dont need a lecture about the importance of nutrition please i sell and advise on nutritional products for a living. I just need ideas for high calorie meals thats arent going to turn my stomach

I think i havent made this clear enough. I am finding it particularly difficult to eat because i am pregnant. I used to eat a healthy balanced diet but now i find myself turning to junk food because cooking is turning my stomach. Very unhelpful

Lets see, you don't need a nutrition lecture because you advise on nutritional products for a living, but you say you eat mostly junk food and still have a child's adversity to a varied diet.  Look, many people are good at helping others but terrible at helping oneself.  So if you know what to do but still don't do it, maybe you should go see a holistic nutritionist who will tell you what to do and maybe that will overcome the self-defeating choices you're making even though you know better.  Because if you know what to do and still aren't doing it, how can we help?  You know that eating high calorie meals in and of itself won't get you where you want to go, so you need to find a way to get there.  Good luck.

Put different types of beans in your soup, nuts (if you don't like nuts try their butters). Not a medical professional lol
