Eating the right number of calories lets you and your baby gain the proper amount of weight. During the first 3 months of your pregnancy, you do not need to change the number of calories you are eating. Normal-weight women need an extra 300 calories each day during the last 6 months of pregnancy. This totals about 1,900 to 2,500 calories a day. If you were underweight, overweight, or obese before you became pregnant, or if you are pregnant with more than one baby, you may need a different number of calories.
Each one of your meals should be about 400 calories and you can snack on a total of 400 calories a day. If you prefer, have 430 to 435 calories for each meal and keep your snack total to 300 calories â whatever works best for you. We have different calorie plans for women, depending on your needs. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should aim for 1700 calories a day â 12WBT has a pregnancy plan just for you.
