Pretzels


Okay, so pretzels don't pack loads of nutrients. But they're a great low-fat, low-calorie snack and much better for you than greasy potato chips. Women struggling with morning sickness may find that snacking on a few pretzels, crackers, or other plain snack right when they wake up in the morning helps them feel less nauseated. For extra fiber, go for whole-wheat pretzels, and if you have high blood pressure, opt for lower-sodium pretzels without salt.
