 | | 13 / 14 Myth 12: When you're pregnant, you need to 'eat for two'
Fact:
There may well be two of you in the equation but it's worth remembering that a foetus is only tiny and doesn't need nearly as many calories as an adult. Experts claim that the extra calories needed per day only amount to several hundred even in the last few months of pregnancy, so there's no need to pile on the pounds deliberately. The most important thing is to eat a well-balanced diet that is rich in fruit, vegetables, lean protein and fiber, says Mason.
