Craving a burger so badly yaar its all i think about. But scared coz of all the cheese and outside food. Is it okay once in a while or should i totally avoid?
I absolutely craved burgers when I was pregnant! My kid is a toddler now and perfectly fine, just make sure you eat from a very hygienic place where the meat or veggies are fully cooked.
Yes, you can eat a burger occasionally, but keep it moderate. Avoid raw mayo and make sure the patty is steaming hot to prevent any stomach issues. There's no need to completely cut it out.
My clinical nutritionist at Cloudnine told me that occasional cravings are fine, but to strictly avoid unpasteurized cheese and raw lettuce. Better to ask your hospital's dietary team once for a safe list.
Beta, outside food like burgers is not very good during this time as it is heavy and has maida. If you have cravings, make a healthy burger at home with fresh veggies and paneer. You can drink warm fennel water later if you feel heavy.
Oh God, I wanted to eat a burger so badly but was terrified of food poisoning! If you do eat, please check if the restaurant is clean, because even a little stomach infection during pregnancy can be so stressful.
