[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of the weight you are gaining is not calorie weight- By the time you're done the baby weights 6-9 lbs on his/ her own, then add the weight of the amniotic fluid, your uterus gets bigger/ weighs more, your blood volume increases, your boobs get bigger. The 300 calories aren't turning directly into lbs, they are nutrition for the baby, but the weight is coming from other sources than increased fat. [/quote] Yeah, but the baby is made up of stuff which comes from calories that come from somewhere: the food you eat. Similarly with the extra tissue in your uterus and breasts etc. The only weight gain that is not associated with the food you eat is the water weight (which is a few pounds). So there is a correlation between how many extra calories you eat and how much weight you can conceivably gain...though as PP notes, 300 calories extra per day is sufficient to explain the amount of weight gain.[/quote]
