How many calories are we supposed to be aiming for? I thought it was 2,000-2,500? I've been struggling at getting in even close to 1500 since I'm still nauseas... but it seems most ladies are aiming for much lower?

Banana

Our oven/stove is broken and I hate cold lunches in the winter so I had two lean cuisine dinners for lunch. (Thai Peanut Chicken) It was super yummy but I'm STILL hungry!

from babycenter.com

"If you're at a healthy weight, you need no additional calories in the first trimester, about 300 extra calories a day in the second trimester, and about 450 extra calories a day in the third trimester. If you're overweight or underweight, you'll need more or less than this depending on your weight gain goal."

pre-pregnancy, i only required about 1200-1300 to maintain my weight (based on height, body structure and activity level)...so 1500-1600 is about right for me for second trimester.
