Say if you need to gain weight in a healthy way. Only pregnant-friendly food. Any ideas what to eat? :0)
Good foods to eat are: Oats, Wholewheat rice and pasta, lots of
vegetables, clean chicken breast, lean mince, legumes, nuts and flaxseed
oil/olive oil.
It's more important that you eat more calories than your body uses than eat healthy for just gaining weight. Use this calculator to see how many calories you need each day to maintain your weight.
You're looking at doing a clean bulk, so you need to eat 200-300 calories above your maintenance rate. Don't get too fat though, it's bad for your pregnancy
Try to get a macro nutrient ration of about 40 carbs, 30 fat, 30 protein or 40 carbs, 20 fat, 40 protein
This means the calories you eat should be 40% from carbohydrates, 30% from fat, 30% from protein.
I recommend a program such as CRON-O-METER that tracks your calories and shows detailed information on your macro nutrient ratios and micro nutrient ratios.
Thank you for your informative answer, Mike :)
Yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for. Problem is though, that I'm already eating more than 700 calories more than my maintenance rate, and I still haven't gained enough weight :/ It feels like I'm doing something wrong. I mean it's normal to vomit during a pregnancy, so why am I not gaining enough?
by anastaciaI bet you can google that info a lot easier than making a pointless thread here about it when we all know the purpose is to just remind everyone of your perpetual pregnancy.
We can always count on you Ana for posting a mature intelligent reply. Now go get your mommy and ask her if she can post something more helpful.
Aren't you the same person that has complained endlessly over children posting? So how exactly do you find an attention starved borderline to be an adult? Have you even seen her avatar or read her in chat? The whole passes tea and cookies routine can't exactly be seen as mature. If you have a problem with me alone then just say it but by commenting like this you not only look like a hypocrite but also like you're taking insults from AlmightyJim with that mommy remark.
