🤰🏽 Pregnancy Nutrition: Let’s Talk About “Eating for Two” 🍎🥗
One of the biggest myths in pregnancy is “I’m eating for two.”
Truth is… you’re nourishing two, not doubling your plate.
Pregnancy is not about eating more junk or oversized portions.
It’s about eating smarter, richer, and more balanced foods.
💡 Your baby needs quality, not quantity.
What you eat becomes your baby’s building blocks — for the brain, bones, blood, and immune system.
🌿 Focus on nutrient-dense foods: ✔️ Fruits & vegetables (vitamins & fibre)
✔️ Lean proteins (eggs, fish, beans, meat)
✔️ Whole grains (steady energy)
✔️ Healthy fats (avocado, nuts, olive oil)
✔️ Plenty of water 💧
🚫 “Eating for two” can actually be unhealthy
Overeating low-quality foods can increase: ❌ Excessive weight gain
❌ Gestational diabetes
❌ High blood pressure
❌ Fatigue & poor digestion
✨ The goal? ✔️ Nourish your body
✔️ Support your baby’s growth
✔️ Feel energized, not heavy
💬 Remember:
You don’t need double portions — you need double purpose in your food choices.
💕 Your body is doing something amazing. Fuel it with love, balance, and wisdom
