Anyone know about how many calories they eat a day?

Question

I know everyone is different but I have been eating 1800-2000 calories a day and been gaining like crazy. I gained 25 lbs already at 25 weeks. I don't know what I'm doing wrong . I don't think I am eating too much

Answer

Well it might be the type of calories you're eating. If it's junk food then it will all turn to fat because those calories don't turn into energy but if it's protein's, fresh fruits and veggies you will burn a lot of the calories you eat so it helps maintain or even lose weight. My sister is a nutritionist and put me on a plan when I found out I was pregnant because I was already a bit over weight. Now I'm 27 wks and have lost 32 lb and baby is growing fine which means I'll lose all the baby weight when I give birth because she's all I've gained lol. Also it helps to keep working out.

Answer

I could have written your post. I try to stay at or below 2000 calories a day and despite that and light exercise I am up 25 lbs at 25 weeks (started overweight so this is the max I wanted to gain total 🙈). I gained hardly anything in the 1st tri, but then the 2nd came around and I blew up like a balloon. I think I retain a lot of fluid or something because I can weigh myself in the morning and gain 6lbs by bedtime! But then back to normal next am. I'm just keeping good habits and hope it evens out in the 3rd tri.

Answer

I eat 1800 per day. Haven't gain but I've also kicked up my workouts.

Lately my appitite has been much higher. 
You are probably retaining more water. The baby builds up the fluid around it, if you are not drinking enough your body will retain fluid making your gain mostly water weight

At the same time, I think the gain comes with the territory. Your body knows what it needs to do to keep the baby safe. Perhaps try eating 2500, 2400, then do a few 1800 day to surprised your metabolism,

Maybe your body is holding on because it needs more.
