Is it to much?

Question

I'm worried about gaining to much weight to fast. I'm 18 weeks and in the mornings I eat a bagel.. Eat lunch and eat dinner. I use to only eat one a meal a day sometimes didn't even eat. I don't know if I need to break these meals up into something smaller. I just don't want to gain to much weight to fast?!? Anyone have any advice

Answer

I was the same way before pregnancy, eat like 1 time if that. But when I was pregnant I ate when I wanted to and ate what I wanted to, my Dr told me when I was more than half way that I was reaching the recommendation of weight gain and still had 10 weeks to go but I didn't care, I cut back on the juice and drank more water gained 45lbs total and guess what? I'm exactly 8 weeks post partum and lost 40lbs! I was down 20lbs 2 weeks after birth. So don't stress gaining weight.just eat healthy as long as you're eating healthy you're fine plus you have to eat for the baby, 3 meals a day is recommended. And if you breast feed most people like me lose the weight fast.

Answer

My advice is to forget the weight gain and focus on nutrition. Break up your 3 meals into 6 if you're eating so lightly (which you are). If weight concerns you, consider cutting out junk food and eating more (and I mean more, you need the calories) healthy foods. But don't push yourself too far either. It's really ok to give in to some cravings. Enjoy your pregnancy, don't overthink it.

Answer

Eat when your hungry. Don't stress it so much. Weight can be list afterwards

Answer

I've been eating around 1500 calories a day. I think it's fine just make sure you're eating fruits veggies lean meat and whole grains. I was severely restricting before then and had lost 60 lbs. I can't imagine eating anymore than I currently do. My diet now consists of the things i listed above. I'm never hungry. I have to force myself to eat.
