Audience

Rachel is a part-time high school teacher. She has an eighteen month old, and recently found out she is expecting her second child. Between grocery shopping, a forty minute lunch break, and limited time in the morning to contemplate food options, meal times leave her somewhat frazzled. She's in a rut due to the amount of time she spends preparing toddler appropriate food, and has noticed she has decreased her creativity and variety of meals. She's generally content with some frozen Panda Express orange chicken entrees and calling it good. Another food related concern is weight, she gained 40 lbs. during her pregnancy and has not been able to shed any of the extra weight post-partum. She's nervous about her current pregnancy and accepting that her body has drastically changed possibly for good, she's come to terms with her less svelte body but would like to monitor and regulate what she is consuming so it does not get out of control. She does not have extra time to meal prep and pre-plan her dinners, and would like to have quick access to different options and know the calorie count involved. She plans to get a calorie intake recommendation from her doctor at her next check-up and would like to follow that but doesn't know if she will be able to keep it up.
