Thanks ladies. I think I do need to eat more, but I feel like I'll pick the wrong things! I don't WANT to eat raw veggies. And I know I need to drink more water. I was doing that before I became pregnant with Emily, but it was a struggle. I honestly could be very satisfied with 2 cups of coffee a day, and maybe a glass of milk. I don't feel any more thirsty than that. But I know that's not healthy, especially when I'm nursing.

Generally, I have two pieces of whole grain toast with margarine for breakfast, or oatmeal with apples and raisins and a bit of brown sugar (1tsp?), or a bowl of cereal, and a coffee with cream and sugar.

Lunch is a little more varied - whole grain sandwich with turkey and cheese, or leftover spaghetti (with whole grain noodles, tomatoes, peppers, onion, mushrooms, hamburger, and sauce.), a bowl of homemade soup, macaroni and cheese sometimes, and a glass of water or milk.

Supper is usually meat (baked chicken, lean pork chops on the BBQ, meat balls with lean beef) potatoes, or rice (1/4 cup uncooked) and boiled veggies - two kinds, or one with a salad (lowfat dressing). Milk or water with supper, and a cup of coffee after (with cream and sugar).

I generally do not snack, or eat after supper. If we have guests over, or are visiting someone, then I will have a snack, but not at home. If I feel like I HAVE to eat something, I have yogourt or a handful of cereal. DH and I sometimes have tea together in the evening, or rarely a cup of hot chocolate.

DH eats the same way that I do, and he works in a physically demanding job, outside all day, and he is also about 50lb over weight.

I think we must have very efficient metabolisms, or something. The only comfort I have is that if a famine comes, DH and I will still be standing at the end!

Anyways, there's my "diet" and if you have some ways to make veggies more appealing with out being fattening, or some good suggestions for healthy snacks, bring 'em on!
