Maybe just healthy is enough?

So I've been thinking about the clean eating philosophy, and really, there are so many different versions to it, it gets a bit confusing.

So I thought I would approach my eating from a "good for pregnancy" angle and did some googling about what I should be eating to fuel both myself and the growing bub.

So this is what I came up with.

Eat:

Unrefined carbs - 6-9 servings a day (!!!!)
Protein - 2-3 servings a day
Dairy - 2-3 servings a day

And of course -
Fats - unsaturated of course!  Not too much, but an essential part of your diet!
Omega 3 - from things like salmon, sardines, flaxseed and walnuts.

Limit - refined carbs, saturated fat and no more than 2-4 servings of fruit per day.

So today, with all that in mind - I had this today:

Breakfast:  Oats with linseeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, blueberries, banana and honey.  And a splash of milk.

Morning tea:  2 ryvitas, with a small amount of avocado on them, and a sliced up boiled egg.

Lunch:  Ham, cheese and tomato toasted sandwich on bakery baked wholemeal bread.  Then an apple.

Afternoon tea:  2 choc-orange balls (made from almonds, dates, cacao, freshly squeezed orange juice, orange peel and coconut).

Dinner:  Salmon & vegies - potato, sweet potato, carrots, pumpkin and broccoli.  And a handful of cashews to nibble on after dinner.

Dessert:  Leftover ice cream that we had from the shops the other night.  Not a healthy option I know, but hey, I wasn't exactly going to throw it out, plus its my dairy for the day haha!  Also had some of my vanilla homemade ice cream I made last night in the thermomix.

Supper:  Cheese on crackers.

So that made 4 servings of carbs, 3 servings of protein (well probably more like 2 and a half because the ham wasn't a very big serving at lunch) and 3 serves of dairy.  Plus I also got some omega 3 in there from the salmon and linseeds.  I was looking to make something with walnuts to get some in that way too.

I think I will struggle getting 6 serves of unrefined carbs a day if you base it on things like bread, pasta, rice - however if you take into consideration the vegies as a serve of carbs its probably ok?  I'm not sure if vegies count though, I mean, I'm sure they count cos carbs are carbs, however how much would I have to eat to be considered a serving......?
