So now you are pregnant and your mother says that you need extra calories, drink 2 cups of milk in the morning, eat 1 paratha extra, so what is the truth in this? Well, the doctor says in the first trimester you don’t need to eat extra. Eat a healthy breakfast, eat a healthy lunch, do not eat processed foods but you don’t need to increase calories right now. Now when you will come into your second trimester, you need approximately 300-400 calories extra. Eat 2 boiled eggs and a bowl of dal extra, that is more than enough. Extra things are not needed right now. Similarly, in the final trimester and also when you are breastfeeding, at that time your calorie requirement is the highest. You have to eat 400-500 calories extra. Make sure you are having enough proteins, you are having enough carbohydrates, colors in your diet as in fruits and vegetables and still avoid processed foods. You never need to eat a lot during pregnancy. Please be mindful how much weight you are gaining because that will depend on whether you are able to deliver normally or not, so just relax, eat normal.
