Pregnancy diet??

I am currently 21 weeks pregnant... How does my diet look ?

Today I ate...

Breakfast

1 large bagel w/ peanut butter, large glass of milk

1 small cup of coffee

Lunch

Large salad w/ chicken, bacon, egg, beets, cucumbers, carrots, tomatos, italian dressing

1/2 cup cottage cheese

1/2 cup fruit - apples/cantelope/grapes

bottle of water

I'll probably have a snack when I get home from work - something along the lines of a PB&J and a yogurt...

Dinner

Macaroni and Cheese

Big bowl of strawberries

I have a very busy schedule - so its hard for me to eat a large dinner.

How does this look? ..

Update:

also - I am drinking water all day long... just forgot to write that :) And I also take my prenatal everyday :)

    Looks great!

    Two areas you can "upgrade" a bit:

    Whole grains would be good. Whole wheat bagel or oatmeal for breakfast would be an easy option.

    Also, I might add a bit more protein at dinner and maybe a veggie. Like add some ham and peas to the mac and cheese? It will help you keep full and help keep your blood sugar stable (a carb heavy dinner of pasta and fruit might leave you feeling snacky/crabby later....)

    Looks fantastic, can you make lunch for me too!? :-) Your diet is very healthy, wish I was eating that healthy throughout my labour, I am sure you will produce a very healthy and happy bubba! Good luck.

    It looks good -- just make sure you also get enough iron. Is your doctor testing for that?
