I portion my meals everyday. I do 6 meals a day. I have 3 big meals and snack in between. I eat every 2 hours.  I watch my carb intake though. With the bigger meals I stay at 30-45 grams of carbs and the snack at 15-20 grams of carbs. It may seen too little but it works and I stay full throughout the day. I'm 21wks 6days and only gained 10 pounds which is within the normal range.  I was worried that I wasn't gaining enough but my OB said that my weight is normal. Not too much not too less. I suggest to try that.

Watch your portion size. You can have healthy food but be eating to much of it. Drink an 8 oz glass of water before each meal, this will help you to feel fuller so you don't eat as much. Also cut down on your carb intake and increase your veggies and fruits. Veggies and fruits are mostly water, so you shouldn't retain a lot of calories from those. Also don't succumb to ridiculous cravings, those don't help lol if you do get a craving for something it's usually cause you're missing that nutrient of vitamin, so try and find an equivalent option that's healthier. I would also suggest staying away from soda and juice since most times those are empty calories, stick to lots of water
