I'm pregnant with #2 and I'm trying to eat healthy during this pregnancy. I'm not trying to lose weight. Anyone else using this app to track their food while pregnant? I would love tips and just general chatting form women in a similar situation!

    I had lost 30lbs and got pregnant... I am still overweight and using this app to help me stay on track... I was doing low carb before I got pregnant and my doctor just informed me that I can keep eating low carb, contrary to everything I've been reading, she says it's because my body doesn't burn carbs like other peoples'.

    Is there a special calorie amount for eating for two?

    I lost 50 pounds in the prior year and am now pregnant with #6. I still had 15 pounds to lose, and am now trying to use MFP to gain reasonably instead of way too much. We shall see how it goes!

    Karb Kween: pregnancy is said to use 300 more calories daily . . . But keep in mind that is for supporting a full-term baby at the end.

    Breastfeeding exclusively uses 500 calories daily.
