Q: Ok, I’ve read all the things pregnant women are not supposed to eat, but I can’t figure out what take away food they CAN eat. It seems pretty much everything has salad, cheese, deli meats, raw fish and/or have been sitting on a counter for a few hours. Any practical tips out there?

A: Well don’t go for boring American all the time. Try Indian, if your stomach can handle the spices. It’s GREAT for pregnant women. Baked tandoori chicken, whole wheat flat breads, plenty of veggie dishes, and the dal is REALLY good for you (pulses, fiber, so on).Chinese is great too. Just don’t get deep fried.Pastas (no cream sauces) and pizzas with not alot of meat is great as well. There is plenty! Try getting the book “What to eat when you’re expecting”. SO helpful.Edit: From delis, get egg sandwiches that have been in a “fridge” or chicken sandwiches.And sushi is fine and tempura, just don’t get sushi with fish. Get it with egg, sweet tofu, cucumber, so on. And the one with a little mayo and cooked crabmeat is great.

I haven’t been able to buy bocca burgers and since canned tuna is cheap, high protein, low calorie &carb, I’ve been eating a lot of it.
