Did you go out of your way to eat more when you were/are pregnant? I'm still in early days but I'm starving almost all the time and need to snack all day long. Did you create a special pregnancy eating routine?

I don't think I was any hungrier than usual during my pregnancy , which I found weird, since it's supposed to be the whole eating for two thing. But I believe in just listening to your body when it comes to food so if you are starving then you should be eating all day long.

I am just coming out of my first trimester. I have had all day sickness, so many insane food aversions, and the increased sense of smell makes all of this so much worse. I have lost 15lbs so far.
However, today, the first day I've really felt good I've eaten a lot more. I have noticed that eating lots of smaller meals seems to work better for me. So I've switched up gorging once a day to eating on schedule.

I actually like the grazing all day method
I'm a huge fan of snacking!

Oh I am starving all the time so I had to come up with a food plan. I always make sure I have a glass of milk and eggs for breakfast. Then I bring about 4 snacks to work to help tide me over throughout the day such as fruit, juice, crackers. I eat 3 of the 4 snacks before lunch then the last one a couple hours after lunch. I haven't had full on m/s yet but I do find myself feeling horrible when I'm hungry. As a result I try to make sure there's something in my tummy at all times.

I'm not really hungrier than I normally was prepregnancy. I don't/can't eat big meals so I snack throught the day but that's not really any different from my normal self.
-
I ate when I was hungry. Which was all day long.
-
I'm not eating more, I'm not usually hungry, but when I am, I indulge! I eat as healthy as I can afford, and eat what I like.
-
I find myself snacking a lot inbetween meals =) I also heard that after baby arrives and if you decide to breast feed, you are 5x as hungry. Man oh man!
-
I am not eating more. I'm letting myself eat what I want, though. Peanut butter cup at 9am? OK. I'm eating when hungry which is about every three to four hours, depending on my last meal.
-
The only intentionally different thing I've done is pay closer attention to my protein intake (we eat a mostly pescatarian diet) and I've eaten more cheese than normal. Also, I'm more conscientious about drinking a lot of water.
Other than that, I've paid attention to my body's cues when it comes to how much to eat, though I don't believe that that should include indulging every whim.
I've actually read several places that the whole "eating for 2" thing is a total myth and that's why so many women put on too much pregnancy weight. -
My husband is always asking me if I will be partaking in dinner with him each evening. Since sometimes I'm not hungry or feeling well.
I try to snack throughout the day instead of the 3 meals, so usually I'll come home from work and scarf down some food, then have a small snack with him while he eats dinner.

First trimester if I didnt eat every 2 hours I felt very sick. 2nd trimester, I'm eating like normal, which is a very good thing because eating every 2 hours I was gaining too much weight.
-
First trimester I was constantly hungry. Like really hungry. I had to eat at least every 2 hours or I would gain nauseous. I snacked constantly. A typical day was like this:
- calcium fortified OJ
- small bowl of cereal
- banana
- whole grain toast/english muffin
- V8
- chobani greek yogurt
- lunch
- apple
- fiber 1 bar
- golfish/popcorn/pretzels/nuts
- dinner
- glass of milk
- bedtime snackI'm now 15 weeks and I still eat quite a bit but probably cut out a few snacks from the above list. When I get hungry I get HUNGRY. I gained 3 lbs in the first trimester (on a small frame) but haven't gained anything since then. My doctor said that when you are hungry, EAT because it's your body's way of telling you what you need during pregnancy.
