You're not eating for two a lot of women think that and gain too much. Right now in your first trimester you should obviously eat healthy but eat a normal amount of food don't over eat. In your second trimester you should increase your intake by 300 calories which is the equivalent to half a beagal or a fruit salad. And then in your third trimester increase by about 500 calories. Don't double your food intake though

A lot of caffeine is bad, and so is a lot of sugar.
