Is there a pregnancy mode for my for My fitnesspal? I enjoy the ease of logging in this ap but want the recommended intake during pregnancy.

    While MFP doesn't have this feature, you could possibly ask your doctor how much weight she/he advises you gain per month and adjust your goal to that amount. It would likely change by month or the very least by trimester which is why I'm guessing MFP doesn't have the feature.

    I used an outside calculator to get my calorie/macro needs and just plugged it in here.

    You can manually adjust your calorie goal. I would set your goal to maintain weight and manually add the additional calories. Check with your doctor how many extra calories you need, as it will depend on your current weight and activity.

    I'm pretty sure I've read you only take in an additional 300-500 calories per day, but I could be wrong, so don't hold me to it. But I know my wife just eats until she's content, since growing a human, especially if you've been trying for a while, is more important than a temporary weight gain.

    I'm just about 20 weeks pregnant and I haven't found any pregnancy setting on here lol. I had my calorie goal set to 1500 calories a day prepregnancy. But now that I'm pregnant I raised it to 1800 calories. But on days that I'm extra hungry, I eat until I am content. I still log, but totally do not mind going over.
