How to Gain the Right Amount of Weight During Pregnancy

If your health care provider wants you to gain weight while you're pregnant, try these tips:

  • Eat five to six small meals every day.
  • Keep quick, easy snacks on hand, such as nuts, raisins, cheese and crackers, dried fruit, and ice cream or yogurt.
  • Spread peanut butter on toast, crackers, apples, bananas, or celery. One tablespoon of creamy peanut butter gives you about 100 calories and 7 grams of protein.
  • Add nonfat powdered milk to mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, and hot cereal.
  • Add extras to your meal, such as butter or margarine, cream cheese, gravy, sour cream, and cheese.
