In the first tri I was so sick that I COULDN'T eat (lost 25lbs). In the second I was hungry ALL the time and ate a ton (only gained 4 of the 25lbs back) now that I'm in the third I'm still hungry, but can only eat VERY small amounts at once cause I get full. We had raviolli last night and I was STARVING....after 2 of them..I was stuffed. Course..I have to eat about every 2 hours now, LOL. Go ahead and eat what you want, when you want (within some sense of reason of course!)
