I have such strong cravings for sandwiches with mayo these days yaar. But someone said the eggy ones are not good in pregnancy? im 4 months and confused if i should avoid it completely.
It's mostly just fat and empty calories, so I tried to limit it and stuck to my healthy snacks before my gentle yoga sessions. If you really crave it, go for eggless, low-fat versions after confirming with your nutritionist. Regular walking also helped me burn those extra heavy calories!
I would highly recommend checking with your gynac before adding such processed things to your daily diet. Raw eggs are sometimes used in homemade mayo which is a big no in pregnancy. Safety first always, so read the labels carefully.
My mother-in-law always told me to avoid such outside foods and stick to homemade curd or chutney instead. But my doctor said store-bought pasteurized eggless mayo is perfectly fine occasionally. So I enjoyed it in moderation, but avoided local street food stalls.
Actually, commercial mayo sold in supermarkets is pasteurized so it is safe from salmonella bacteria. However, my doctor advised against fresh homemade mayo or restaurant mayo because they might use raw, unpasteurized eggs. Always read the ingredient list for 'pasteurized' label.
When I was staying with my parents, my mom would make sure we only bought pasteurized, branded mayonnaise. She never allowed me to have it outside at local cafes. It's safer to enjoy it at ghar pe to avoid stomach infections.
