Ants on a log (celery, peanut butter, raisins)

Cucumbers and cream cheese

Fruit in Greek yogurt

Cheese and crackers

Your dr suggested protein because protein makes you feel full for longer :)
All of these options contain protein (dairy, nuts, etc)

If you need more options, (other than the obvious:meat) just google searching for what vegetarians eat to get their protein.

The thing is alot of women use "eating for two" as an excuse to throw dietary caution to the wind when in reality you only need a few extra calories essentially. I would personally would avoid sweets in general. Because if the GD risks. But it is difficult. I also struggled with this. I found i would gravitate towards more fruits and berries because of the sugars, they arent the worst choices.
