Common questions

What are good pregnancy snacks?

Protein-plus-carb pairs: cheese and apple with oatcakes, yogurt with fruit, roasted chickpeas. From the second trimester a daily snack is the easiest way to add the extra calories you need.

How many snacks a day should I eat while pregnant?

One or two. You need about 340 extra calories a day in the second trimester and 450 in the third - a snack, not a bigger plate.

Why am I so hungry between meals while pregnant?

Because your energy needs genuinely rise - about 340 extra calories a day in the second trimester and 450 in the third. A protein-plus-carb snack answers the hunger without a sugar crash.
