Healthy eating/getting enough calories??

Question

Glow Momma's! I am 29 wks 3 days with baby number one. I read today that normal pregnancies should have around 2,400 calories a day 😳. No one ever told me that. I've been trying to eat healthier but I don't think I'm getting more than 1500 calories a day. What kind of foods do you ladies all eat in a day to meet that mark?? What are your favorite high calorie foods? No empty calories!

Answer

Fage makes a 5% fat yogurt! It’s so creamy and delicious and I pair it with either honey and fruit and granola or whatever I have on hand. There aren’t any added sugars and some of them have the fruit on the side if that’s your thing too. Natural fats like those found in dairy products are better than synthetic fats. I’ve been craving dairy products since I’ve been pregnant, I also drink whole milk and about a gallon a week.  I’ve just been trying to choose healthier foods but now that I’m nearing my third trimester I’m hungrier more often (having a second breakfast and a big snack before bed) I usually get eggs and toast from my work cafeteria once I get to work (steel cut oats with banana and cream and brown sugar on my way into work)
