Calorie tracker for pregnancy
Pregnancy isn't "eating for two" calorie-wise — most people need only +200–300 kcal in the second trimester and +400 in the third. But specific nutrient needs (folate, iron, choline, omega-3) rise significantly.
This isn't a medical app. Use alongside guidance from your OB-GYN.
What gets in the way
- ! Calorie increases by trimester are smaller than common belief
- ! Folate, iron, choline, omega-3 needs rise sharply
- ! First-trimester nausea makes consistent logging harder
- ! Avoiding specific foods (raw fish, deli meat) is part of safety, not just preference

FAQ
Is CalPilot safe to use during pregnancy?
Yes — but treat it as a tool, not medical advice. Coordinate calorie targets and supplements with your OB-GYN.
