How many meals a day
Just wondering what is your normal amount you eat a day? I have just been doing breakfast/lunch/dinner i will occasionally have ice cream after dinner, but not all the time.
Should i force myself to eat more?
I think i may have asked this before, but i need some advice please!
TIA

Re: How many meals a day
Just listen to your body. I was only eating 3 meals a day until a few weeks ago. Now I'm hungry every 2 hours

That is my problem, i really do not have an appetite! I always figured you get pregnant and become a raging hungry woman... not in my case!

I lost 22 lbs with my dd and was told again this time to make sure when I eat I eat protein.. grilled chicken, veggie and peanut butter eggs and cheese those are the things she said were important by 30 weeks I got my appetite back but my stomach didn't have much room so I had to eat very very small meals.

Re: How many meals a day
it really depends on the day for me. somedays im more hungry than others and i'll eat my 3 meals and then have 1 or 2 snacks to hold me over. but other days im not hungry at all and i'll just eat my 3 meals but they're usually lighter or smaller. you'll know when you're hungry and need to eat!

Re: How many meals a day
I eat 3 solid meals and then I have 2-3 snacks a day. if i'm not that hungry that day I stick with the 3 meals.

I eat my 3 regular meals but I do have a granola bar on my way in to work on the train and sometimes another small snack on my way home.

Re: How many meals a day
Im 20 weeks today and the last few weeks I find myself to be less hungry. I will eat 2 small meals (breakfast and lunch) and a larger dinner. In between I snack every one to two hours. A snack for me is a granola bar, handful of craisins, nuts, string cheese etc., something small. This is how I have been eating for about 7 years now during/after losing 80lbs. So, it made it easy to continue while pregnant.

Same here!!!! And it's a "I gotta eat something or I'm gonna pass out feeling" not just a "hmmm....another twinkie sounds delicious" kind of feeling!!!

Ditto. But that was pretty much the same for me pre-pregnancy.

Re: How many meals a day
I eat 3, though I never actually feel like eating....it's weird. I try to make sure my meals are bigger portions too.

This!
I find that at 37 weeks if I eat a very heavy and filling dinner, I am going to be suffering in the middle of the night with heartburn.
Small meals throughout the day definitely helps.
