Being pregnant, I sometimes have weird cravings, and more than likely they are pretty unhealthy. I don’t think this has to be a pregnancy thing though..how many of you in the evening are like “I really need something sweet!”? I thought it would be fun to share some of my “kravings” and some healthier alternatives to satisfy them.
Chocolate Cake or Brownies
Try this instead:
Double Chocolate Mighty Muffin (the best part is they are warm and gooey!)
220 calories: 21g carbs, 8g fat, 20g protein
Ice Cream
Try this instead:
Enlightened Ice Cream
macros vary depending on flavor (red velvet & movie night are my favs!)
Pizza
Try this instead:
Milton’s Cauliflower Crust Pizza (from Costco)
460 calories: 54g carbs, 16g fat, 24g protein (add grilled chicken for more protein)
A Big Bowl of Pasta
Try this instead:
My 4 Ingredient Pasta (click here for recipe.)
597 calories: 55g carbs, 20g fat, 52g protein
Hamburger & Fries
Try this instead:
My Lower Fat Version of a Burger & Fries (click here for recipe.)
482 calories: 39g carbs, 20g fat, 32g protein
Nachos
Try this instead:
My Sweet Potato Nachos (click here for recipe)
405 calories: 45g carbs, 9.7g fat, 36g protein (macros change depending on toppings)
Chicken Wings
Try this instead:
My Buffalo Chicken Cauliflower Rice (click here for recipe)
295 calories: 18g carbs, 7g fat, 40g protein
I hope some of these healthier alternatives will help satisfy your cravings, but at the same time keep you on track with your macros and/or overall health and nutrition. Most of the alternatives are not only lower in overall calories, saturated fats, etc. but include more vitamins, nutrients and higher amounts of fiber.
