Energy

It’s not that if you are pregnant so u have a license to eat more, as I told every calorie counts. In the first trimester your body does not require that much energy it’s quite like your normal requirements but in later trimesters for the development of the foetus about 300 kcal are needed more which you can get from a glass of milk with one toast or Roti though.

Protein

It plays an important role of course in building tissues of baby, development of organs etc. Total protein requirement can vary from 65gm to 85gm also depending on your body weight, for eg 2-3 glass milk, 2 cup curd, 1 cup Paneer /40gm fish will take care of your protein need.

Calcium

Calcium is vital for healthy teeth and bones. It is also important for the health and functioning of nerves and muscle tissue. Good sources of calcium include dairy foods like milk, yoghurt and cheese, calcium-fortified foods (such as soy products) and, to a lesser degree, some leafy green vegetables and nuts and seeds. How much calcium you need depends on your age and sex. The recommended upper limit for calcium is 700-800mg a day for adults. If you’re 18 or younger, then you need at least 1,300 mg of calcium every day. While you’re pregnant, try to get at least 1,000 mg of calcium every day.
