True or false: “Eating for two” means you can eat twice as much food while you’re pregnant. Definitely false! Most expectant moms need about 300 extra calories a day. That’s about the amount of calories in a cup of milk, a small apple, and a slice of whole-wheat bread. For more info about eating healthy while pregnant, see your WIC nutritionist.
