I don't know yet only been doing it since Monday, aiming for 2000-2300 a day, which is right for pregnancy, I'm just adding them up in a notebook x

 

[Cas3]

I just keep track in my head wiv calories not aiming to lose just not to gain alot! Ive got a feeling I lost bit weight in other places just seem to be all baby but not that big for 34 wks last time I put on weight all over. Your fundal height is average so thats good x

 

[mrs-s]

So updated

1789 cals plus about 200 for twirl bites so about 1989cals not too bad
Going to lunch tomorrow with my sister and dad so will be eating small for breakfast, and DH out in evening so will be small dinner too x

 

[mrs-s]

Im not aiming to lose either, I do think it's bad really unless your really big to lose weight in pregnancy, you do need it to have a healthy baby and to keep yourself healthy too x

 

[beccaharrison89]

how would u track calories when you have a jacket potato or use potatoes for sw chips etc?
i would like to try calorie counting but i No what i like i would end up missing out the odd sugar etc ha

 

[mrs-s]

There is cals on the back of a bag of potatos think it's about 200cals per 250g of raw potato so just weigh what you use before you cook, I weighed all the potato I used in potato hash last night then just worked out my portion out of the pot same with mince etc I just worked out the calories for everything I put in pot last night and then divided it by 5 for my portion x

I think for myself losing abit weight wud be quite healthy but dont want to be dieting now I rather just keep the weight gain low so I should have a loss after birth only 6 wks left. I have to admit I do try and stick to just over 2000 calories but I estimate most things like potatoes and meat x

 

[beccaharrison89]

has yoir weight maintained doing that cas?
i was trying to stick to sw at beginning but i wud do well then come the evening i wud go over syns so fought it wd b betta countin cals

 

[Cas3]

Well ive only started properly this wk I was doing sw but im the same as you I go way over on syns and dont really enjoy the free food my baby not keen on veg it makes me feel sick, but most of time I probably eat about 2000-2200 calories and ive not gained alot in this pg and im 34 wks today I did gain abit in jan during cold weather but lost it again last mth so, ive only gained 3lbs but im running around all day after my 2 yr old and I do alot of walking when I feel up to it x

 

[beccaharrison89]

thats brill hun,ive gained about a stone now and im 24+5.aint weighed myself last few weeks tho.
do u track everything even hot drinks etc?

 

[Cas3]

I dont count drinks so I do cheat abit but I don't drink alot of tea and coffee but I do drink alot of diet drinks and water. A stone is still good amount of weight gain it depends on ur bmi my bmi is about 30 so I really dont need to be putting on to much weight but I find I have days when I do eat alot and other days I don't so maybe it evens it out x

 

[beccaharrison89]

my bmi is about 27 now. i have put tracked my calories in that fitness pal app today.its good if you type in what you had it comes up with exact cals.
i am going to track hot drinks etc coz if i have a coffee i have sugar
