I Love How Things Just Work Out

Didn't get to read my email til right now. And guess what I found?

Nutrition Nibbles:

3 cravings a pregnant woman can love
 

Here's why these three common food cravings aren't so bad — in moderation, of course:

• Ice cream can pack on the calories and saturated fat but it's also a great source of calcium. One half cup of chocolate ice cream has 109 milligrams (mg) of calcium — that's 11 percent of the recommended daily amount. (Lower-calorie ice creams, bars, and frozen yogurts will lower the fat content but still fulfill your sweet craving!)

• Hamburgers can be high in saturated fat but they're also a great source of iron. One large homemade burger contains about 5 mg of iron — that's 16 percent of the recommended daily amount during pregnancy. To keep your fat intake from going over the top, buy lean meat, and skip the mayonnaise and side of fries.
• Pickles are loaded with sodium, but they also contain vitamin C, iron, magnesium, potassium, fiber, vitamin A, and vitamin K. One large dill pickle (3 to 4 inches long) has only 18 calories. (Note: Stay away from the pickle jar if you have chronic high blood pressure or if you're retaining a lot of water. Too much sodium can make your condition worse.)
So I got 2 out of 3.. because I don't and I never will like pickles. There was another article mentioning something or other about that hair line from my belly button to down under appearing soon... and something else about sharp pains around my utie from the stretching. I'm not putting it on here because I'm not looking forward to it. :P
