I'm having such strong cravings for Maggi these days, but my family is telling me to avoid it. Is it really okay to eat Maggi during pregnancy, or should I stay away from it completely?
I am trying to conceive and often crave Maggi, so I was wondering the same. I guess having it once in a while is okay, maybe we can add lots of vegetables to make it a bit healthy?
Honestly, Maggi cravings are so real! Since I'm planning my pregnancy, I am trying to cut down on maida, but I feel an occasional bowl won't hurt as long as we eat healthy otherwise.
Look, Maggi has no nutritional value and has too much maida and sodium. Eating it once in a blue moon is fine for cravings, but don't make it a daily habit. Add veggies and eggs to it if you eat.
During my first trimester, I felt so nauseous that only spicy Maggi tasted good to me. I felt a bit guilty, but it was the only thing I could digest some days. Just enjoy it occasionally without guilt.
I totally get the intense craving and the worry that comes with it. I used to feel so guilty eating anything processed, but my doctor said a little bit of Maggi once in a while is completely fine. Don't stress too much!
My pregnancy tracker app suggested avoiding too much MSG and processed food. If you are having it, try the atta version and put less tastemaker. It satisfies the craving and is slightly better!
