Question

Jane is a 20-year-old woman, who is 5’5” tall, weighs 120 pounds, exercises less than 30 minutes a day. She is neither pregnant nor breastfeeding. This woman requires 2000 calories per day. If Jane became pregnant, how many more daily calories would she require in her first trimester, compared to before she was pregnant?

Answer 1

Answer:

Well obviously more than 2000 calories.

Explanation:

She'll be carying another human, plus she'll have cravings. I'm no doctor, but she'll need to and want to eat much more food especially if another human eats the food she digested straight out her belly.

2 mouths to feed, but only 1 mouth needs to swallow it. XD.

Answer 2

In the first trimester, Jane won't be having any extra calorie requirement, since her BMI falls is 20.0 which falls under the normal weight category and she was moderately active before conceiving.

What is the calorie requirement in all the three trimesters?

• First trimester - No requirement of extra calories. Instead the pregnant lady should focus on eating nutritious foods to support the development of baby.
• Second trimester - There should be an increase of 300 to 350 calories per day during the second trimester.
• Third trimester - An increase of 450 to 500 calories should be done per day.
• In case a woman is pregnant with multiple babies, she would require 300 extra calories for each baby per day.
