Pregnancy Myths Exposed: 10+ Common Beliefs You Can Ignore

Myth #1: You're Eating for Two

"Eat for two!" sounds like a free pass to double your portions, right? Not quite. Sure, you're growing a tiny human, but that doesn't mean you need to eat twice as much. In reality, you only need about 200 extra calories a day --- that's like an apple with a spoonful of peanut butter. Instead of piling on the snacks, focus on nourishing yourself and your baby with fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean proteins, and calcium-rich foods. Your body (and future you) will thank you.
