[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does she eat in a day? Give us a look into her diet. [/quote]

OP here. She does eat. She was using app at first to make sure she was getting adequate nutrient level which is how I know how much she eats. I cook most of our meals.

She ate today

Bk: 1 scrambled eggs, 1 piece of whole grain toast, and half of a banana 
Snack: 100 calorie pack nuts 
Lunch: Salad with veggies and grilled chicken and avocado 
Snack: about 2tbsp is hummus with some cucumbers 
Dinner: Pasta. About a cup of pasta and sauce with a little of Parmesan cheese

She doesn’t eat anything big for snacks and doesn’t eye anything for about 3 hours before bed because it makes her full. Some days she will chug water as snacks if she had too big of a meal or heavy like pasta for lunch.

That is not enough food. I eat more than that when I’m not pregnant. I would do as PP suggested and add in butter to things like eggs or oatmeal, add olive oil to pasta, add oil to veggies, etc. Get full fat diary. [/quote]

That is actually enough food, you likle overreat.[/quote]

+1. I plugged it into an app and that’s about 1300 calories. A little low but not that bad. [/quote]

She could probably swap the cucumbers for something a little more calorie-dense and maybe add a smoothie or two, but if she feels full, she feels full, and on top of that she like has heartburn like many pregnant women. She needs to see an OB  who can treat the whole person, and not just look at numbers and stats and specifically someone experienced with patients who previously lost a significant amount of weight.[/quote]
