How many grams of protein/carbs/fat during pregnancy? page

[hennahead]

I'm a bit confused on how much of fat/protein/carbs I should be eating. Can anyone help? Do the same ratios apply? 1 g/lb of weight?
I'm almost 24 weeks pregnant with my fourth child, started going primal the last week or two.
Thanks
Mary

If you put pregnant/pregnancy into the search box you should be able to find some good info. I can't help you personally - my time of having babies is long over

I haven't found specific guidelines. It would be awesome to have a pregnancy section of the forums.

Many organs are made from fat....take that for what it's worth...

This is a hard question to answer. Id assume eating at a 1g ratio, even a 1.5g ratio, would be ideal, as you are eating for two. It's also going to be harder to determine your lean body mass on your own, so best to consult a doc and see if they can determine your new lean body mass and go from there.

I haven't changed my ratios - most days are around 65% fat, 15% carbs, 20% protein. I'm getting about 1g protein per lb. Some people definitely need more carbs while pregnant, so don't feel bad if you need to add more carbs... just make them primal carbs

Oh, and I love the idea of a pregnancy board too!
