I was looking to track my calorie intake while pregnant because I am currently over weight for my height I'm 5 foot 10 and while I don't see myself as looking "obese" I am on the heavier side. I'm over the 30 BMI range for my height and am looking to gain no more then 11 to 20 pounds throughout this pregnancy. As recommended. While I was pursuing losing 60 pounds to get back to where I belong I know pregnancy isn't anytime to be cutting it short. I was wondering if there's a setting I'm missing somwhere or somthing. I just want to make sure I'm getting the appropriate calories while not over doing it because I definetly don't need a unhealthy pregnancy. But still wouldn't mind if I lost a few pounds when it is all said and over.

    You're not suppose to lose weight while pregnant or get in a diet. The best you can do is not eat crap, we all know what that is. Maybe you should talk to your OB about healthy options.

    Um yeah, don't do this.

    At 5'10 and I'm thinking about 210 lbs (based on BMI) Your TDEE is far above 1200-1300 or even 1500-1600. You could end up creating a huge deficit. Speak to your OB about what your intake should be.
