Oh, and I only gained 29 pounds and lost it all really quickly, so (1) I mostly ate good, whole foods, and (2) my baby *needed* it. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-more-than-200-extra-calories-a-day-while-preg#post-1667947 Fri, 30 May 2014 08:01:32 +0000 Mamaof2 1667947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is that the new rule - when I was preg a few years ago it was 300! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-more-than-200-extra-calories-a-day-while-preg#post-1667939 Fri, 30 May 2014 07:58:22 +0000 blackbird 1667939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. I gained 60 pounds, and not all of that was baby, LOL! I've never had such a ravenous appetite like when I was pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-more-than-200-extra-calories-a-day-while-preg#post-1667912 Fri, 30 May 2014 07:51:42 +0000 Alivoo01 1667912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uh... yea!! Carbs was the only thing that sounded appetizing to me the first trimester (pizza, pasta, noodles, rice, etc.) and since I was afriad of morning sickness, I binge ate those carbs like it was my job! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-more-than-200-extra-calories-a-day-while-preg#post-1667868 Fri, 30 May 2014 07:40:26 +0000 regberadaisy 1667868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't count calories but I'm sure I do since I eat more than my 6'3 husband who lifts weight and does Insanity.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-more-than-200-extra-calories-a-day-while-preg#post-1667844 Fri, 30 May 2014 07:32:26 +0000 charmed 1667844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sure I do.

And Definitely getting more than 200 calories. I didn't have much of a sweet tooth prepregnancy, but these days, it's like I can't get enough! Just the other day, I had a few brownies, 2 slices of cake, a cupcake, Popsicle, and an ice cream sandwich. That was probably equivalent to 2000 calories! (I'm carrying twins... So that's my go-to defense) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-more-than-200-extra-calories-a-day-while-preg#post-1667837 Fri, 30 May 2014 07:28:54 +0000 mfa_lady 1667837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Let's just say....I'm not counting. Haha. I'm in the first tri, too, and I feel like crap if I'm not eating carbs and/or protein every two hours. Oopsies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-more-than-200-extra-calories-a-day-while-preg#post-1667806 Fri, 30 May 2014 07:15:16 +0000 Bao 1667806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol oh I'm sure I did, still do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-more-than-200-extra-calories-a-day-while-preg#post-1667804 Fri, 30 May 2014 07:12:53 +0000 Smurfette 1667804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never counted but I am sure I did! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-more-than-200-extra-calories-a-day-while-preg#post-1667794 Fri, 30 May 2014 07:00:55 +0000 Adira 1667794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't technically know, but guaranteed I do!

Because when I did eat, it was usually fast food shit. I crave cheeseburgers like crazy when I am KU. and all the Taco Bell in the world. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-more-than-200-extra-calories-a-day-while-preg#post-1667568 Thu, 29 May 2014 22:49:17 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1667568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh shit, I ate constantly.

I don't know how people can do just 200 extra.</p> <p>I am pretty sure it's an extra 500-1000 calories.

I'm nauseous or starving all day long.
