Just found out I'm pregnant with twins and definitely need a place to keep track of my calories! I'm supposed to take in between 2700-2800 daily (which hasn't been easy!) and this is a great place to keep track of calories and the kinds of foods I'm taking in! Anyone have any suggestions for getting in a lot of calories but eat healthy? Right now I'm eating a lot of eggs, whole grains, and fruits.

Couldn't be more excited about my sweet, beautiful babies! Whoohooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

    :flowerforyou: Oh my gosh, so happy for you! Congratulations!! I have twin nieces who just turned 10 and they are pure joy! :flowerforyou:

    :smile: As far as eating healthy don't forget lean meat, lowfat or fat free dairy as well, the rest of what you are eating sounds great!:smile:

    Gratz! That's wonderful news, and you're right this is a great place to keep track of not only calories, but general nutrition.

    I recommend Avocados! In addition to being a wonderfully healthy food they are nearly the perfect food for pregnant women. The folate in one avocado provides almost 30% of what you need a day!!!

    Lean meats, and dairy too!

    Bless you, and your babies!

    Congrats, I always wanted twins and they run in my family but I didn't get twins. I have a 4 year old little girl named Anna Grace, and a 2 year old little boy named Jacob. I love my kids more than anything on earth. Well, congrats!!!!!!!!!!! :flowerforyou:

    snack on nuts and seeds! just 1/4 cup of almonds is like 180 calories but they are so cool for you! congrats on expecting twins!
