Yeah, Wendy, you seem to be on the lower side, calorie-wise, but if you are not feeling hungry, and the baby is growing at an appropriate rate, then you are obviously getting what you need. I, on the other hand, am eating as though I'm in the 3rd trimester. Here's what I've had so far today, keeping in mind that I'm always hungriest in the mornings, and generally have very small portions for supper, and usually nothing else after dinner:
7am: Special K with Red Berries; 1% milk in my cereal. Coffee with sugar and milk.
9am: 2 slices ww toast with butter and peanut butter. 6oz low-fat blueberry yogurt.
10am: baked Tostitos and hummus.
12:30pm: left over steak and low-fat cheddar cheese wrapped in a ww tortilla. Light sour cream and salsa. Dill pickles. 2 Oreo cookies and 1 cup of 1% milk.
4pm: banana and berry muffin.
For supper I'll be eating pre-cooked turkey with sundried tomato & basil sauce, roast potatoes, and acorn squash. Possibly a cup of V-Go. I'll probably put light Creamy Cucumber salad dressing on the potatoes.
I cannot wait for this snow to melt, so we can pull out the bbq! There is nothing more heavenly than a potato baked on the bbq, with a bit of butter and onion tucked inside. Oh my.......
Cheers!

This is what I just read should be a woman's daily calorie intake during late pregnancy!!!??? Are they nuts!? lol If I even came close to that on a daily basis it would not be a good thing!!! I couldn't be! Could it? Seems very excessive.
