Well the woman is not just ating for herself anymore. The chips and chocolate is only a craving most of the time. The baby sucks up alot of the vitiamins and all the good stuff from food so the woman will be hungry more often and eat alot more too.

There will always be the baby's needs.
Add to that all the emotional/psychological aspects of transitional times of life that we habitually treat with food.
This is compounded by the physiology of hyped hormonal activity that causes stress, which is often soothed [temporarily] by eating.
Add to this the mechanical factor: when the stomach is bloated more than normal size we feel "full." When it is compressed, as it is allowed a smaller than normal space during pregnancy, we feel "hunger" at least until we get accustomed to the "new norm." Hopefully it won't take 9 months to become "well adjusted!"
Bonus activity: try to notice expectant fathers with sympathetic cravings!

those are poor nutritional choices, but the hunger aspect is perfectly understandable. a pregnancy is basically a parasite, not only taking sustanance from the mother but at times building at the rate of more than one million cells per minute.
Since the expectant mother is supporting another life, her basal metabolic rate will go up, requiring more calories. During the second and third trimesters, an additional 200 to 300 calories are needed.

Maybe because of the BABY inside the woman!

eating for two and changes in metabolism that trigger different hungers than usual.
