An idea of my day of eating is: rolled oats with a frozen banana microwaved with water, lunch is dinner’s leftovers (usually always rice, some legume, 50/50 with some steamed veggies and a low density/no salt sauce) and then some different variety for dinner. I have a nectarine for snack. I’m not taking a prenatal with iron. This is my third McDougall pregnancy but this one has been causing constipation recently. I’m drinking water only and frequently. I have celiac and haven’t had gluten in years. I don’t drink coffee/tea. I recently added 3 dried prunes to my after morning breakfast. I’ve got two young boys and were active. Could I need to be adding more fat? More food? I eat really big portions. Thank you!
