I have always been a terrible eater. When I was little, I was so picky my mom basically gave up trying to get me to eat a balanced diet. As an "adult", I've often subsisted solely on breadsticks and cheeseburgers for weeks at a time. Even over the last year, as I've lost 41 pounds, my diet (except for cheat days where I pigged out) was really repetitive (frozen Weight Watchers or Lean Cuisine meal for lunch, frozen meal for dinner, same yogurt for breakfast every day), which made "points" counting easy but probably didn't do much for my nutrient balance.
But then came the positive pregnancy test. I found a great, free website, http://www.choosemyplate.gov/supertracker-tools/supertracker.html, from the USDA that will let you track foods you've eaten and tallies up your calories and food groups. My nutritional needs are customized for my first trimester. I don't think I've ever eaten this well in my life! I hope Tank appreciates it - I know I do!
