[quote=Anonymous]So I'm almost 14 weeks, and my OB's office advises an additional 250-300 calories per day once I get into 2nd trimester, which would be next week. I already feel like I'm eating plenty - 3 well rounded meals, plus 2 snacks a day. I didn't have morning sickness so my appetite has been fine. Is the added calories recommendation more for people who aren't eating enough as it is? A bit about me, I'm 5'10, was 143 lbs pre-pregnancy and am 145 now (some days 146, some days 144), athletic build, so I'm definitely a good eater. If I really need to eat more, do I just add another snack? Eat a bigger meal? Or just focus extra on making sure what I'm eating is nutrient dense? I know 250-300 calories is not a large amount of food, and I'm cautious of overdoing it because I really don't want to gain more than the recommended amount of weight. How did you guys "add" these calories? [/quote]
