Is it bad to only eat twice a day while pregnant?
Hi! I wish there were a simple way to answer that question, but it really depends on a number of factors. If you are early in your pregnancy and battling with nausea and/or vomiting (or even later in the pregnancy), I will generally encourage a patient to eat what and when she can. You may find "trigger foods" that make things worse that you will want to avoid. The most important thing in that instance is to stay hydrated. If you are later in the pregnancy, as the fetus grows and compresses all your internal organs, you may find that you might not be able to eat as much as you used to, and might have to adjust to eating smaller meals more frequently. The other thing with eating only twice a day is that it might create large fluctuations in your blood sugar, which might have you feeling weak, dizzy, lightheaded, or nauseous. You may find that you feel better eating more frequently. It's important to maintain a balanced diet, eating enough calories (not just sugars and carbs, but also proteins) in the right foods and proportions to nourish yourself and your growing baby. Good luck! Gavin Shumate, MD READ MORE
