I am in my first trimester of pregnancy and I'm not sure if I am eating enough.
Today I had:
bowl of oatmeal
english muffin with jam & peanut butter
drinkable smoothie
salad with steak on it w/ a roll
an orange
I haven't had dinner yet. I'll have some sort of meat, vegetable, salad - maybe some sort of starch.
Is that enough?

Depends...
How big were each of the items?
If they were larger than a single serving each, then yes, for someone in the first trimester you would likely be eating "enough."
However, your doctor (OB/GYN) can direct you to a dietician who can help you design a ballanced diet through your pregnancy.
Just remember to keep it light when the craving start hitting! :D

I'd say you could probably use a few vegetables, but other than that, you seem to be doing okay. Maybe a little more iron or something, keep on taking those prenatals.

Seems like enough. If you're hungry, eat it.
I'm 24 weeks pregnant, and I'm having trouble eating as many calories as I should. My doctor isn't too worried, but I have to eat 5 smaller meals and even then I can't finish them. Most days I can't even finish a 6" Subway sub!
By the way, I'm jealous! I've been craving oranges, but I can't eat any thanks to heartburn. :-(

Eating until your baby tells you to stop :D But keep in mind, eat healthy food and exercise daily will help you to get birth easily

That sounds perfectly fine to me. As long as you continue to eat a well-balanced diet, you shouldn't be concerned.

If you feel full, you are eating enough. Your body will tell you when you need more -- just make sure you listen to it.

the answer is: if you are full and satisfied, then yes. the only time you are not eating enough is that if you are still hungry. your baby will tell you if you should eat more... don't worry!
