A diet during pregnancy is supposed to be he althy - each meal should provide you with the necessary ingredients for your condition. This also applies to snacks that you eat when you feel like a bite to eat. If you must eat in between meals, do so wisely and eat he althy. Give up sweetness in favor of vegetables and other snacks, because it will definitely pay off - the correct weight in pregnancy is less to lose after giving birth.

Diet during pregnancyhas no secrets from you - you think that you eat according to dietitians' guidelines and follow the rules of he althy eating. But does it really includepregnant snacks- small ones, between meals? These little sins - a wafer with a coating, a chocolate bar or halva, like trifles, but in fact they provide a lot of empty calories. It is because of them that you gain unnecessary, extra pounds, which will be difficult for you to lose after giving birth. However, you don't have to torture yourself and wait from meal to meal to eat something. The best solution is to get into the habit of eating he althy things at the beginning of your pregnancy. Thanks to this, you will not have problems returning to your former figure.

Przegryzki during pregnancy: what should you avoid?

Many products are suitable for snacking between meals. It will be easier for you to make a choice when you know what to avoid. Unhe althy snacks include those that are fatty, s alted or sweetened, artificially colored, and contain preservatives. So, first of all, stuffed wafers, candies (hard and jelly), bars and halva, in a word - the assortment displayed next to it. Have a he althy snack in the store. Forget about greasy chips and s alty sticks, buns, ready-made cakes and ice cream. Avoid ready-made dairy desserts and puddings (they can be made with raw eggs and contain preservatives). The most important rule you must follow now is: less calories and more valuable ingredients.

Przegryzki during pregnancy: he althy and always at hand

From the second trimester, your need for extra calories will increase. Snacks between meals are almost a necessity, so think about what you should always have on hand when you want to eat something. It is important that these are products containing the same valuable ingredients that will be in the main onesmeals. And you should also control their nutritional value and caloric value.

  • Without remorse, reach for fruit - both fresh and dried. You can eat fresh practically without restrictions - apples, pears, peaches, bananas, kiwi and plums. They will provide beta-carotene, vitamin C, magnesium, potassium and fiber. You should already dose dried fruits, because they are more caloric. A few dried apricots, plums, figs or a handful of raisins or almonds should quickly satisfy a sudden hunger for something sweet. Thanks to them you will also feel a surge of energy.
  • Carry a packet of sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds in your purse. They are a good source of vegetable fats and zinc. Here, however, also be careful about the amount, because despite the fact that they contain many valuable ingredients, they are also greasy.
  • The craving for sweets can be quickly and effectively satisfied with a teaspoon or two of real honey. It contains easily digestible simple sugars and a lot of vitamins and microelements.
  • There are no restrictions on vegetables, especially raw vegetables. Kohlrabi, cucumber, pepper and carrots are always recommendable - just like fruit, they contain valuable vitamins, minerals and fiber, and they do not fatten because they are not too sweet. You should chew on them at least once a day.
  • When you shop, stock up on high-quality "complement" foods that are a source of fiber and micronutrients. Their selection on store shelves is quite large: rice bread, sugar-free biscuits, cereal crisps, e.g. corn (but not flavored), unsweetened fruit muesli, crisp bread, especially rye.
  • And what will replace your favorite chocolate bar? Also a bar, but cereal, with dried fruit and without any topping. Wholemeal or whole grain biscuits and oatmeal cookies are worthy substitutes for confectionery sweets. In the first trimester, you can eat ginger biscuits - they will help you relieve nausea. You can also afford ice cream, but only refreshing sorbet. Instead of fatty pepper chips, look for their he althy counterparts, such as apple, beetroot or carrot.
  • Ask in stores about the so-called bio products. They come from clean, ecological crops, therefore they do not contain harmful chemical substances.
  • You can also eat dairy products several times a day. Yogurt, kefir, buttermilk, natural cottage cheese - reach for them when you want. But remember: choose the unsweetened ones, without fattening additives such as chocolate shavings.
You must do it

You can combine several ingredients for a delicious and he althy snack. With fruit and yoghurt, you can prepare many combinations of great cocktails. Also mixed vegetables, filled with mineral water, will be therea he althy and filling drink. A snack just in time for afternoon tea can be cottage cheese with honey, fruit, dried fruits and sesame. A bowl of grated apple with raisins is a sweet portion of he alth that will not be deposited on your hips like apple pie or halva, but will satisfy your sudden hunger.
