Welcome back to Healthy Grocery Girl! Today I\u2019m sharing with you What I Eat In A Day! I always love watching these types of videos not because we should eat exactly like someone else, but simply for inspiration for a new idea or two! I am currently in my second trimester<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and I eat pretty similar to when I\u2019m not pregnant. The main differences are eating smaller, more frequent meals and my body really craves and feels best with high protein meals and snacks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an ambassador for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.megafood.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MegaFood<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00ae, who is sponsoring this video, I will also be sharing more about the pre \/ postnatal multivitamin that I take and about some of their other amazing supplements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UJ-91aiQ4g8\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s get started on my day! First thing in the morning I drink a big glass of water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breakfast: For breakfast I\u2019m having a bowl of oatmeal with\u00a0hemp seeds, banana, cinnamon and peanut butter.\u00a0We typically make a big pot of oatmeal to share as a family in the morning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>After breakfast we\u2019ll either go on a walk as a family before it gets too hot for the day. If I have a lot of work to do that day, just my husband goes walking with Ella so I can get some work done. We don\u2019t have childcare for Ella so we really divide and conquer throughout the day so that we can both get our work done and take turns being with Ella.<\/p>\n<p>Second Breakfast: So if you\u2019re pregnant you know all about second breakfast ha! This is usually a small morning snack really. I\u2019m having almond milk yogurt (I love this one which has 4 grams of protein per serving) with blueberries and more cinnamon. Sometimes I will also add granola.<\/p>\n<p>Lunch: We eat lunch early, sometimes at 10:30 or 11 in the morning! Lunch is usually a salad or soup, or both! Today I\u2019m eating this pre-made Whole Foods salad because it\u2019s quick and between watching my 1 year old, being pregnant and trying to fit in work whenever she is sleeping, I need something quick because\u00a0 the days go by really fast. I can just toss this salad into a bowl topped with a hard boiled egg and some pre-prepped quinoa, salad dressing and hemp seeds and it\u2019s really filling! My first pregnancy I could not stand vegetables which made it really hard, so I am grateful that my body is craving more salads and fresh foods this time around.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-66097 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/healthygrocerygirl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/MegaFoodWhatIEat-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"White salad bowl in the middle of photo on white napkin.

These products are formulated specifically for women who seek optimal health and wellbeing, and are crafted with a blend of vitamins and minerals that support a woman\u2019s unique physiological needs, including normal hormone fluctuations.*<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vitamin D has been known to support gut health, immune health as well as support calcium absorption. Vitamin D also plays an important role in nervous system health.

However, no one eats perfectly and there are seasons in life when we need a nutritional boost &#8211; so a high quality daily multi-vitamin can help fill in the nutritional gaps. What I love about MegaFood is that all of their supplements are made from real, whole foods from their trust farm partners, plus added nutrients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Afternoon Snack: For snacks I either eat almonds, pistachios, carrots and hummus or cassava chips and avocado. I make sure my snack includes protein or a healthy fat which helps me feel full and satisfied.<\/p>\n<p>Dinner: We eat dinner anywhere from 4:30-7pm. Usually it&#8217;s earlier however because we like to eat as a family, and my daughter goes to bed early between 6-7pm. Because we work from home this works for us, but I know eating this early doesn\u2019t work for everyone! For dinner tonight we are having salmon, green beans and mashed cauliflower which tastes just like mashed potatoes to me! Ella has the same dinner that we do and we just serve it in a way that is better for her.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-66099\" src=\"https:\/\/healthygrocerygirl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/HorizontalSalmon-900x600.jpg\" alt=\"Two white plates and one pink children's plate with salmon, mashed cauliflower potatoes and green beans. \" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthygrocerygirl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/HorizontalSalmon-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/healthygrocerygirl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/HorizontalSalmon-scaled-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/healthygrocerygirl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/HorizontalSalmon-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/healthygrocerygirl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/HorizontalSalmon-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/healthygrocerygirl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/HorizontalSalmon-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/healthygrocerygirl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/HorizontalSalmon-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/healthygrocerygirl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/HorizontalSalmon-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/healthygrocerygirl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/HorizontalSalmon-1800x1200.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-66100 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/healthygrocerygirl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/SalmonDinnerForOne-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"White plate in center of photo with salmon, mashed cauliflower and green beans all on white napkin.

I\u2019ve never been a person who has the energy to workout in the evening but the days are so busy that right now an evening workout works best for me. I usually do 10 &#8211; 20 minutes on the elliptical, squats, some yoga poses for stretching and strength and some free weights for my arms, shoulders and back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evening Snack: Because we eat dinner so early I am hungry for a snack around 7:30 \/ 8pm, especially if I worked out after dinner. I usually have an orange and a piece of peanut or almond butter toast and a cup of chamomile ginger tea. We usually get to bed by 9:30pm &#8211; I have always been someone who likes to go to bed early and I am so tired this pregnancy that by 9 I can\u2019t wait for bed!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d love to hear what you eat in a day &#8211; so share with me in the comments below!
