Answer 1

You may want to throw in there some veggies, fruits and milk products.

For breakfast, I normally have oatmeal and a fruit. If I'm hungry before lunch I eat some crackers or half a small sandwhich. Lunch is a free for all and can be anything from burger, salad or pasta. Around 4, I get a small snack of a cheese stick, wheat crackers or some nuts. Dinner is around 7 but is normally rice, meat and veggies.

Spacing out my food has help tremendously in not over eating and nausea.

Answer 2

Sounds fine to me. I would try to eat a little more in the morning, maybe some fruit, like a banana. Get some veggies in your diet too. Carrots and celery sticks are good to munch on. 17 weeks pregnant here and always thinking I'm not eating enough.

Answer 3

Lets see, you are supposed to eat 300 calories more a day, so women should eat about 1500 calories a day so add 300 to that.

Answer 4

It doesn't sound like you're eating enough. I eat too much I think. I eat whenever I think about food. The doc hasn't said anything abt. my weight gain yet, though.

Answer 5

i think what you are eating is fine,dont buy into the eating for 2 thing its not necessary. if you feel full after eating that then you will be ok
