Most pregnancy books will quickly put to rest the old cliche that a pregnant woman needs to pack in enough calories for two people. Yes, pregnancy requires some extra calories (about 300 or so during the second and third trimesters, according to the American Pregnancy Association), but hardly enough to qualify as eating for an entire extra person.
A better way to look at pregnancy nutrition is to make every calorie count. In my opinion, that should be a matter of nutrition as well as taste. I've always thought that healthy, nutrient-rich foods are delicious, and leave us with much more energy than heavily processed foods.
This blog is about sharing some basic principles of healthy eating that any mom-to-be (or anyone else who just wants to get healthy) can work into her daily routine. Let's eat!
