steph77, dun worry now i also cannot finish the meals. i read an article, its said'Women generally require and consume about 2000 calories per day. In pregnancy, there is an additional demand of about 300 calories per day: approximately 100 calories per day during 1st trimester and 300 calories per day in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. In other words, your energy requirements will increase by only 15%. Your choice of foods is the key to a healthy balanced diet in pregnancy. You can choose to balance your foods groups across a 24-hours period rather than necessarily being restrictive at each meal. It is vital that you do not skip meals, especially breakfast. Instead of eating your usual two or three big meals, you should eat five to six small meals through the day - breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner and bedtime snack. Just under half your total intake for the day should be carbohydrates (bread,rice,noodles or cereal). Of the remaining half, one-third should be vegetables, one-third fruit, and one-third protein (meat or plant protein such as soy). Milk and dairy products should be used as needed (about 2 servings a day), and fats, oils and sweets only sparingly. Make sure you have plenty of fluids. Water is best, but fruit juices are good too. You can tell you are drinking enough if your urine is light yellow or clear. If it's dark yellow, you need to increase your fluid intake.'
