Diet for to-be-mum.

"Eating Right" is very important during pregnancy. Nutrition is an important aspect of to-be-mum.
Every pregnant woman needs extra 300 calories due to the increased demand of pregnancy. To achieve an ideal diet you do not necessarily need to "eat for two" but only modify your diet with a little thought.

Here we have designed an easy and to-be-mum-friendly diet plan.


We suggest having six meals in a day instead of three :

• Breakfast (8:30 am - 9:30 am)
• Mid morning snack (11:00 am - 11:30 am)
• Lunch (1:00 pm - 2:00 pm)
• Evening Tea (5:00 pm - 6:00 pm)
• Dinner (8:30 pm - 9:30 pm)
• Before bed time (10:30 pm - 11:00 pm)

In this eating-right-diet-plan, we have divided the daily food intake into different groups of food items and suggested the number of serving for each group. 

This eating-right-diet-plan will give you the flexibility to choose different food items and create a new menu everyday. It is important not to get bored of you food!!
