I was sick my whole pregnancy (hypermerensis), not to mention a bunch of other issues (like appendicitis at 6 months!), so I just ate what I could, when I could. If I could cook, I did. If I couldn't stand it, I made DH do it, or I just ate random things.

You like peaches - I went through a 10lb bag of oranges a week - or more. Thank goodness Navels were in season!

The way I figure, if you can find enough "healthy" things to eat - fruits, veggies, non-processed foods, just eat at will. Yes, fruits and veg fresh cost more, but they are good for you and baby (cept maybe some of the high sugar fruits of you have the diabetes).

Cheese was also a big hit with me. I'd eat about two of those big blocks a week, or more. Heck, some days, all I could eat was oranges and cheese - and that's what I ate!

My sister - the Taco Bell one - also ate one of those gigantic jars of black olives a month - like 500 olives. Pleah!

I do admit a fondness for McD's fries though when I was preg. Must be some sort of fast food junkie gene kicks in during pregnancy in my family!

Like stacia said - work your food budget around what you eat. It's more important to eat what you can right now. Sure, try to make good choices, but if you can't eat it, it does no good.

And peaches are in season or close to now right? Wooo!

hyperemesis is bad! I had it with both my girls this time I just feel soo crappy and exhausted all the time. (oldest dd I lost 20 punds in 1 week. its no fun)

Another thing that is going good to eat is melons (watermelon , musk mellon and cantelope I think its the wetness of it)

The bagel is not bad as carbs do help. use a light cream cheese on it and some fruit.

I too ate out a lot when pregnant, but my grocery budget was low for I never cooked and also the electricity bill was lower as I used lesser utensils.
