Too few calories or nah??!!.

Question

I'm 27 week pregnant and ingesting about 1,740 calories per day. For you ladies that know about this, I'm I eating the right amount of calories to support a healthy third trimester?. By the way I'm 5'5" tall and weighed a healthy 137 before pregnancy 158 currently. Share your knowledge with me please!.

Answer

I just use an app to calculate my calories based on my height, weight, activity level and goal and then add a couple hundred calories for pregnancy.  I'm 4'11" and have placenta previa so it only takes about 1600 calories do keep me on track. I'm 25.5 weeks and have gained 11lbs so for me that's perfect.

Answer

I've heard a few different calorie goals, but the most common recommendation I've seen is 1800 for first trimester and 2100 for 2nd and 3rd. But if you feel energized and baby is growing, your probably fine. You can always ask your doctor just to be sure.

Answer

As long as you aren't losing weight then it looks to be fine and aren't packing on the unnecessary pounds.   I consume about 1800-2000 a day (more some days) and I workout 3-5 days a week lifting weights..

Answer

You should be eating an extra 300 calories from what your body requires.. Most females need 2,000 calories a day then plus 300 if pregnant..
