About this episode

This is the episode I wish I'd heard when I was pregnant with both my boys. I chat with Jenn Lathrop about how many calories you really need in each trimester (eating for two is a myth), simple snack ideas, shopping hacks, and intuitive eating and why no food group is bad. We also cover how to keep moving your body during pregnancy, even in the cold winter months.

EP 69: Why Eating For Two Is a Myth: Pregnant + Eating Over The Holidays with Jenn Lathrop

With Kylie Kelly

Listen to the episode

What you'll learn

  • How many calories you really need to consume in each trimester of your pregnancy - and that eating for two really is a myth.
  • Different - simple - snack ideas that can be accessible throughout your pregnancy - whether eaten at home or on the go.
  • Shopping hacks to ensure that you’re shopping all the important food groups and not just the prepackaged items in the centre of the grocery store.
  • Intuitive Eating and why no food groups are BAD (I loved this conversation so much!)
  • How we can still make sure we move our bodies during pregnancy - even in the cold winter months.

This is the episode I wished I had heard when I was pregnant with both of my boys - but you know what, even know as a woman that’s planning on not ever being pregnant again, I got so much out of this conversation with Jenn! It’s a bit of a longer episode but we chatted about SO much - I know you’re going to get so much value out of this!
