I worked out a lot before I got pregnant and had about a 3 month break before I found out I was pregnant. My weight has relatively remained the same at 150. I am 12 weeks and I want to try and keep my weight gain at 15 pounds or less. My normal calorie intake to maintain a deficit for weight loss is around 1400 calories. Maintenance is around 1800. My question is since I'm pregnant what would the appropriate amount of calories to keep myself from gaining extra pounds but have the baby getting it's needs met. The would also need to include for exercise 5 days a week.

I feel for you. I worked out twice a day five time a week before I got pregnant. Now I am down to once four ats a week due to the Army's Pregnancy Pt program. I asked my on the same question and this is what she told me. "it all depends on you body and your baby" I was like WTF. Now I actually see what she means. I am 18+4 and I am always hungry. I eat six or seen meals a day small but healthy and when I wake up I am starving. My advice is not to worry about it. As long as you remain active during an after you should be back to your normal weight in no time. I have only gained about 7.5 pounds altogether and I am always stuffing my face
