Ok so I've been eating healthy. Eating salad,fruits,and drinking milk and juice (No tea anymore for me stopped drinking it as soon as I figured out)..But anyway to my question! I went and got two sandwiches at arby's..I went for just one but left with a beef n cheddar as well..Is it ok to eat this? :O Silly I Know but I have been so careful of what I have been eating..I wasn't sure but I am so hungry :O!

I heard that lunch meat is bad during pregnancy because it carries bacteria called listeria. But, if the meat is reheated, you can avoid listeriosis which i'm sure Arby's heats it before serving. So i'm sure you're fine but i'm not 100% sure.

Sorry but I hope that helped.

Yup I eat Arby's all the time. lol...(Im not so good with the self control)

Like larissa said you might want to re-heat it. According to my doctor, he said cold cuts are fine if they are from a respectable place, listeria is just a form of food poisoning if you've never gotten it before chances of you getting it while preggo are slim. However, if you question it just re-heat and eat! And Enjoy it...you deserve it!!

The only lunch meat I'd stay away from is cured meats like salami (they aren't cooked).

Ha! If I had a dollar for everytime I ate fast food during my pregnancies....

I don't agree with the lunchmeat/ listeria theory.
Listeria is a food borne illness that you have the same chance of getting if a chef mishandled your food in a restaurant. Its not commonly seen as a food poison in lunchmeat. I don't know where that got started, but it is a huge misconception.

Plus- regardless- arbys meat is cooked. (and processed to death...lol)

Now I want chicken nuggets.....

Lol..I want chicken nuggets too..unfortunately m/s has been horrible today..Not up to eating too much

I'll throw my two cents in - Arbies should be fine with heated sandwiches and at work I always ask them to heat it up too. I thought the same thing about lunch meat a food poisoning...never heard of it. A few weeks ago my SIL, who is also pregnant, got food poisoning from a sandwich at a commercial place. I reaaly hope that it wasn't listeria. So anyway it happens!

I've decided to avoid Arby's and sandwich places like that..I like it but..My stomach is just not up to it...I am just going to try to stick to my fruits.. and veggies..and salads
