[blparent] Healthy foods- proteins

[Erin Rumer]

Bridgett, those sound like some great forms of protein in addition to the
other yummy healthy foods you're eating.  Have you ever had buffalo burgers?
They're delicious and very lean.  I've gotten the meat from Costco but I'm
sure lots of stores carry it now because it's becoming so popular.

Erin,

I eat a lot of Greek yogurt, which is high in protein along with eggs (two a
day, in any form, are good, and eggs contain a lot of other really good
things) cheese, especially munster and guda, and since I eat a sandwhich
almost every day for lunch, I get protein from the chicken and turkey I use.
I do buy organic, hormone-free eggs, dairy and meat since the hormones added
in many foods are not good for baby or mama, smile.

I have never been a fan of peanut butter. When I do crave a cheeseburger, we
usually end up making them at home with the George Foreman grill. I mix in a
little Worchestershire sauce, diced onions, fresh minced garlic and ground
oregano then form the patties. We usually eat ground turkey instead of beef,
but every now and then we get ground beef. Sometimes I make a spicier mixer
with ground meat with cumin and/or hot sauce along with minced jalpenos.
Just depends on the mood.

I also do a lot of lettuce salads with romain lettuce, shredded cheese,
grilled chicken and other veggies.

Because of a GI condition, I don't digest certain foods properly and
quickly, I can't eat a lot of fiber or whole wheat and whole grain foods,
which is crappy since I have always preferred wheat breads, but we have
switched to Italian bread, which is sugar-free and fat-free. We buy a brand
that is really good, Rotella's. I think it's local.

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter

Or you might be craving lots of something strange like hard boiled eggs and
peanut butter which is what I had to have in my 8th and 9th months.
Protein really aids in helping to keep that bun in the oven where it belongs
until it's time.  I met a nurse in the hospital who said that she wasn't
eating enough protein with her first and it caused her son to be premature.
I'm not saying this is the cause of all premature births by any means, but
it is one factor to consider.  So, if you want a burger, by all means eat
that burger because baby is trying to tell you something! GRIN

Erin
