Veggie breakfast quiche – whole wheat pie crust, add sautéed vegetables of choice, 8 eggs, dash of milk and shredded cheese and abke at 375 for ~35 minutes. I make this on Sunday and eat a slice a day.
Snack: 1 small Gala apple with almond or cashew butter
Lunch: Blue Apron meal, this day I had spicy chicken with broccoli & it was so good!! Use this link to get 3 FREE Blue Apron meals
Snack: Veggies with almond hummus (called Bitchin' sauce, you can get this at health food stores on the west coast). Otherwise, I will have a slice of ezekeil toast with peanut butter.
Dinner: Salmon with asparagus and rice. I bake my salmon in foil for about 30 minutes at 325 and add in the asparagus the last 15 minutes of cooking
Treat: Chocolate banana smoothie. 1/2 can of coconut milk, 1/2 cup water, ice, handful of dark chocolate covered almonds, 1 banana, 2 tbs peanut butter, 2 scoops orgain vanilla protein powder
To drink I have water or unsweetened iced decaf green tea

Hi guys! So just to clarify my situation – I was initially diagnosed with gestational diabetes but since I was a borderline case with no other risk factors I got a second opinion and they have since downgraded me to "insulin resistant with increased monitoring." I now keep a food log and meet with a nutritionist but I don't have to see a specialist or check my blood sugar 4-5x a day.
Prior to this, I thought I had been eating healthy but I wasn't getting enough protein and I was eating too many refined carbs that were spiking my blood sugar and causing me to crash and be *extremely* tired and sluggish (which I thought was normal!). Since my diet change I feel SO MUCH better and will probably continue eating like this after pregnancy.

I am 7 weeks pregnant and finding it hard to stomach much food due to severe nausea but the food does look good
Gestational diabetes is common but can be very dangerous. Your diet looks healthy and balances. Thanks for sharing
Gala apples are my favorite too! They are the juiciest! And yummiest!?
these all look SO YUMMY!!!
I wish I could say my diet is this good ?I have way too many cravings

How are people so organised? I am literally a vegetable when i am pregnant. Goals
Temmy Id wow so I’m not the only pregnant vegetable? Lol
??? sorry for laughing. ?
But you were funny.
I’ve never been pregnant so I wouldn’t know what it feels like.
This is me ?
It’s so sweet when your husband gets involved in your videos. Thanks for sharing your breakfast recipe. I’m not pregnant, but I’m pre-diabetic and this video gave me other choices that I had not thought of before. TFS!
P Allison Take a look at the ketogenic diet. Lots of people have had success managing pre diabetes and diabetes with keto
Your meals for the day pregnancy edition are way healthier than my everyday meals and I’m not even pregnant…
Haha same here!
I tried Blue Apron before and it’s fantastic! The recipes are tasty and the ingredients are fresh. Only complaint is the recipes take a while to cook so it isn’t ideal of you’re looking for quick and easy meals.
I’m defiantly trying the veggie egg quiche!
And I love Ryan’s segments hahahaha
Ryan’s snippets and your videos never fail to disappoint ??
I made protein shakes with that protein powder my entire pregnancy. Love how yummy and good for you it is. They sell a big container of it at Cosco for $30.
The quiche was a great idea! Thank you for sharing.l I have to eat every 2 hours too so always looking for something new! A lot of what you were feeling is what I have to go through too. 🙁 Hugs)))))
Yay excited to see a new video! your day looks so healthy and balanced 🙂
Aww bless you. I had to change my diet for my second pregnancy and you soon get used to it and its all worth it of course!!!:) Maybe try quinoa porridge or a Chia pudding avacado ‘dessert’ as both have protein? Just some ideas to keep it interesting 🙂 lots of love x
Tanya McCarthy That’s a great idea! Chia also contains omega 3, just like flax seeds and walnuts. Maybe those are also helpful snack ideas.
so happy i discovered your channel! love the positive energy and genuineness in all your videos ❤
I love you! I find out what I’m having on your due date, so excited. Hope all goes well with the rest of the pregnancy and it’s not too hard on you 🙂
The endings of your videos are always so hilarious!
Oh geeze Ryan!! Love those ending clips! Thanks for another great Brittany!
That nighttime smoothie looks amazing! Everything you ate looks amazing too:)
