i get these crazy cravings for instant noodles esp in the evening. i know its junk but sometimes nothing else feels satisfying. is it okay once in a while or should i totally avoid the maggi/knorr types now?
Honestly I craved noodles so bad in my second trimester haha. I just had them occasionally and threw in some boiled veggies to feel less guilty. Cravings are real, just keep it balanced overall.
Once in a while is okay yaar, I had instant noodles few times during both pregnancies when nothing else appealed. Just dont make it a daily thing, the masala is high in sodium and not much nutrition. Add some veggies and egg to make it a bit better.
On busy days I get the temptation, noodles are so quick. I had them sometimes but tried to add protein like paneer or egg so it wasnt just empty carbs. Occasional is fine, daily not great.
I'd say go easy on instant noodles, they spike things and are very refined. I had GD so I had to be careful with such foods, used less than half the tastemaker. If you have any sugar issues, check with your doctor on this.
