Balanced Nutrition

“Mothers & Menus made an enormous difference for us in the first few weeks! I called all of my pregnant friends to tell them to take “baby clothes” off their wish lists and put this on instead. Every time I would taste something I would be pleasantly surprised – the food looks so simple but the taste knocks you off your feet.” - Laurie Berkner, Manhattan, NY

Balanced Eating

One of the benefits of a whole foods based diet is that you don’t have to think as much about whether or not what you are eating is healthy. Rich with Mothers Nature’s wisdom and perfection – whole foods have everything you need for a healthy diet. That said there is such a thing as too much food, even if it is healthy.

Counting Calories

So at Mothers & Menus we provide you with an average daily calorie amount based on your needs. A new mother receives an average of 1,800 calories a day, a weight loss client receives about 1,200 calories a day, and a mother nursing twins receives about 2,200 calories a day, all in the form of whole, real foods.

Honoring Cravings

Pregnancy is a great time to make changes to your diet, and is, in fact, a time when most women embark on a new, healthy eating plan – so that they can provide their babies with the best start possible. But pregnancy can also throw you some curveballs – like morning sickness and crazy cravings! So when we build your menu, we take into account your specific needs – less greens when you are nauseas, occasional comfort foods for those who crave it and a daily chocolate fix for our chocoholics.

Nutritional Needs

We balance out your cravings with the rest of the day to ensure a natural, holistic approach to eating that complements your lifestyle while taking care of your real nutritional needs, including iron, calcium, omega-3 fatty acids, and fiber.

Results

Our expecting clients find that they gain weight at a moderate progression (or slow down if they have gestational diabetes or some other condition that has them gaining weight too rapidly).

Our nursing clients find themselves dropping postpartum pounds while maintaining the energy they need to nurse and care for their babies.

Our weight loss clients are satiated with our spa-like meals that are filling and delicious, and allow their bodies to lose weight naturally, and therefore, keep it off, even when they are not on the program and preparing their own meals.
