Recommendation for healthy snack to eat while hungry?
Any Recommendation for healthy snack to eat while hungry? Afraid of getting gestation diabestes (GD) as I have been drinking Anelene Milk, Rolled Oats, wholemeal crackers and fruits on a daily basis whenever i am hungry. Not sure If thse will have high sugar content
Unsalted nuts, cereals, wheat biscuits, wholemeal biscuits. A good habit it to try to snack only 2 hours after your meal so that it regulates your sugar levels, even if you dont have GD now. So take your meal, 2 hours later snack, and then next meal at your usual timing, then 2 hours later snack again. Small meals more meals also help you to reduce the possibility of acid reflux and heartburn which is common in pregnancy. Low fat milk is also a good option. Choose unflavored ones, meaning avoid choc, strawberry flavoured ones. Dark chocs are okay too. Small amount is fine. With GD, my dr would also say that fruits should be kept as snacks and not together with a meal as the carbs from your meal and sugar content from the fruit will be a double spike in sugar levels.
