So once nausea, vomiting, fatigue, food aversions, and other early pregnancy symptoms have passed getting back to a balanced diet is important. Make sure you are taking a quality prenatal vitamin and getting protein, fruits, and veggies into your diet. If you are like me carbs are the only thing I am able to eat early in pregnancy. Also, remember you aren't really eating for 2. Throughout your pregnancy, 80-200 calories more than normal is really all you need. Listen to your body! If you are craving something there is usually a reason for it. A good guide book for diet during pregnancy is Real Food For Pregnancy by Lily Nichols.
