WHAT I ATE IN A DAY AS A MEAT-BASED PREGNANT DIETITIAN 🤰🥩🫶

Magrereport na po uli ng lahat ng mga naconsume kong food today 🫡

If there’s one thing that I want to emphasize for today: pag less ang miscellaneous food items, mas maraming space para sa masustansyang pagkain. Thus, wag hayaang madisplace ng wants ang needs ninyo ni baby ♥️

Today naghahanap ang dila ko ng something sweet after ng meals ko.

Pero kagabi pa lang nakaset na sa mind ko na hanggang buko shake lang ako today kasi hindi ko gusto yung pakiramdam ko kahapon after ko magpandesal ng magkasunod na araw. Parang walang space ang tyan ko kahit gusto ko pa ng more meat.

Kaya ngayon, mas magaan sa pakiramdam. I feel lighter and satisfied. Wala ding discomfort.

Please check uli ang caption ng each photo. 🙂

⛔️ NOTE: I’m not practing strict LC now that I’m pregnant kaya wag na pong magtaka kung bakit may ilang HC items sa aking meals

Ito na nga—face the consequences of eating inflammatory food 😁
Ayan, may pimples na tayo 😅

Whether it’s carbs/sugar, antinutrients, chemicals, or toxic oils, dapat ready tayong harapin ang epekto after mag-enjoy.

Accountability lang, ganun 😄

Pero feeling ko talaga… cocoa powder ‘to the other day 🤭
Kalma muna tayo sa oxalates 🫣

Thank you, self, sa gentle reminder ♥️

Reflect:
Are you trying to fix things in your life by yourself? Approach God and allow Him to restore you.

Again, nagdecide ako to post sa pinakamadalas na kakayanin ko ang mga kakainin ko habang buntis ako para ma-encourage ang ibang buntis to eat nutrient-dense food.

And para sa mga dating naka strict LC/keto/carnivore na medyo nagslide back nung nabuntis, I’m posting para hindi kayo ma-feel bad about it and to empower you na kahit hindi na strict ang practice, tuloy pa din basta priority and majority pa din ng nacoconsume is real and nutrient-dense food.

P**i check na lang uli per photo para sa details 😊

WHAT I ATE IN A DAY AS A MEAT-BASED PREGNANT DIETITIAN 🤰🥩🫶 (April 24, 2026)

Since I got pregnant hindi na ako nakapag strict sa practice ko ng low carb/carnivore.

Hindi ko na din inistress ang sarili ko sa pag count ng carb content at kung anong klaseng carbs ba ang nakakain ko 😄

What I kept in mind:
☑️ Listen to my body. Mas naging maingat ako kung ano yung mga triggers ko lalo sa nausea.
☑️ Kahit hindi na strict ang practice, pero dapat quality protein and fats pa din ang priority.
☑️ Kung makakakain man ng carbs, try ko lagi ang best ko na pinakakonting kaya ko sa bawat item at per day din.

Kaya magpopost ako not to encourage ang mga tulad kong buntis na okay lang mag cheat or hindi ituloy ang strict na practice. But to show them, lalo na sa mga tulad ko na hindi kaya ituloy ang clean LC, that life happens. 🤷🏻‍♀️

And lalo during pregnancy, hindi kailangang maging perfect. Lalo at iba’t iba tayo ng challenges.

If you can continue with your usual practice, then why not?

Pag medyo nag increase ang carbs kesa sa dating practice, wag din mafeel bad. Basta hanggat kaya, sikaping mas madami pa din ang nutrient-dense food items na nacoconsume.

So ayun.

Ito ang sample ng mga kinain ko today. 👇

Congrats, self! It seems na hindi naman natin naabuso ang carb intake natin today pero napagbigyan ang cravings 🫶

Tandaan, hindi lisensya ang pagiging buntis para abusuhin at kalimutang alagaan ang sarili at si baby 👶💡

P**i basa na lang per photo ang mga chika ko per food item 😄

Father, may You lead me to the people I am meant to journey with, so that my eyes may open and be filled with the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Thinly sliced beef + scrambled eggs + kimchi for dinner 😋😋😋

At dahil grabe nga ako magbloat simula nabuntis ako, sauce lang ng kimchi sa’ken masatisfy ko lang cravings ko sa lasa ng kimchi 😛

Busog uli si Nanay maghapon habang well nourished naman si baby sa tummy 😍

Edit:
Sa mga nagtatanong po kung saan namin nabili ang kimchi, wala po akong marecommend kasi wala po akong trusted na clean ang ingredients. Ngayong buntis po kasi ako ay hindi ako nakastrict dahil sa cravings. 🙂

May nag message asking kung safe daw ba mag low carb/carnivore pag buntis.

Kaya sagutin natin dito para mas madaming ma-enlighten.

So here’s my answer 👇👇👇

Yes, pwede naman siyang maging safe, pero dapat tama ang approach.

Pregnancy is not the time para mag-experiment ng kung anu-anong but instead, it is the perfect time to focus on real, nutrient-dense food.

Ang well-formulated na low carb or meat-based approach can be safe during pregnancy basta name-meet mo ang nutrient needs mo—especially protein, fats, iron, folate, choline, glycine, B vitamins, DHA at iba pang vital nutrients.

In fact, maraming whole foods sa ganitong approach—like meat, eggs, fish, and dairy—ang ilan sa pinaka nutrient-dense foods for both mom and baby.

At tatandaan:
👉 Hindi mo kailangan maging perfect or sobrang strict

Normal lang na magbago ang cravings, appetite, at tolerance during pregnancy—and that’s okay.

Kahit hindi ka fully low carb or carnivore, you can still:
✔ Stay meat-based as your foundation
✔ Focus on nutrient-dense, whole foods (especially fatty meat)
✔ Mag-lessen pa din carbs at sugar kung hindi talaga kaya imaintain ang low carb o carnivore.

But here’s the key:
❌ Hindi ka nagugutom / no intentional fasting
❌ Hindi mo kailangan ng sobrang babang calories
❌ Hindi mo pinapabayaan ang important nutrients

Instead:
✔ Kumain ng sapat
✔ I-prioritize ang quality protein and fats
✔ Makinig sa katawan mo
✔ I-adjust ang carbs kung kailangan (some moms naturally need a bit more)

Every pregnancy is different. May iba na okay sa strict low carb, while others need more flexibility—and that’s perfectly okay.

So the goal is not to be strict.
Ang goal ay well-nourished si Nanay at healthy si baby.

If you’re pregnant or planning to be, mas okay pa rin na personalized ang approach with proper guidance from a health professional.

Let’s spread this message 🤍
I-share mo ito para mas marami pang moms ang ma-guide towards nourishing, real food especially during pregnancy.
