You are just hungry. You've been eating for 2 all along. A pregnant woman only really needs an extra 200-300 calories a day.
Try eating a few smaller meals throughout the day and that might make you less inclined to eat everything in sight at one sitting.
Fruit and grains are healthy and should be consumed as well as meats, cheeses, milk.
Try drinking a bottle or glass of water before a meal. This may fill you up more and in turn cause you to eat less at once.

You only need about 300 extra calories a day so you definitely should not eat for two. However I was starving all the time early in my pregnancy and would eat and eat and eat. I am now 18 weeks and I'm not as hungry as I was. Try to eat 5-6 small meals or have a healthy snack (a piece of fruit or some yogurt) in between 3 good meals a day. If you need to eat all the time make sure it's healthy stuff.

You are not eating for two, you should only increase your caloric intake by 300 - 500 calories. Gaining too much weight in pregnancy can be difficult to lose later. Eat several small meals throughout the day to avoid feeling hungry.

don't eat for two. most people think when you are pregnant that gives the excuse of eating everything in site. If you are hungry then eat something. If you are not hungry and think you have to eat just because you are pregnant then don't eat. I am 6months pregnant and I just eat when I hungry. I find my weight gain is not as much as other people who eat for no reason.

It is normal to be hungry but chose your food wisely. If you eat heathy foods you will have an easier time loosing the weight!

If you're hungary - eat. If you're not hungary - don't eat. It's as simple as that. Don't eat just cuz you're bored, eat cuz your hungary.
