I know this should have been in Model Eat instead but since she’s pregnant I thought it was too much of a gem to get lost in there. Proof that it is possible to eat healthy and not go downhill when you’re pregnant.
Proof positive that healthy eating is a lifestyle, not a trend, and that "eating for two" doesn't mean putting down a whole pizza or a bucket of KFC.
I haven't checked yet but I'm anticipating a lot of "OMG! You can't grow a baby on that!" and "Your baby is going to starve" comments... probably sprinkled with some brain developement related, selective, pseudo-science, bullshit that basically translates to "eat a burger". Yes, asshole middle America, you DO have to eat more to grow a baby. But doing so in a nutritionally valuable way is going to do far more for your fetus's health than eighteen pints of ice cream and a gallon of pickles will.
Just as an aside, last time I was pregnant, I went from 47 kilos to 57 kilos (my baby was breech and had to be born early so I wasn't completely full term at that weight). My standard lunch was salad with egg or sardines or soup with yoghurt mixed into it and I snacked on fruit/seeds/nuts etc. I ate plenty, but didn't touch chocolate or crisps and after the baby was born, they told me my blood tests were really excellent and it was probably due to a good diet. My baby was also very healthy for such a small, premature baby and didn't have to go into the NICU after birth.
