Hi i am 30 weeks pregnant and want to use the calculator to keep my weight gain steady and see how many calories i should be consuming, do i use my pre preg weight or my current weight?

    Use your current weight.

    thank you and how do i make sure it adds the extra calories needed for pregnancy do i need to set it for 1/2 lb week weight gain or something like that?

    It's up to you - half a pound gain a week is ideal, however I found I was eating when I wasn't hungry just because I had the calories available so I changed mine to maintenance and allowed myself to go over by 300-400 calories on days I was hungry. Same difference really.
