How many extra calories do you need a day?

• Correct Answer:

You didn't get it right.


It doesn't seem like much, but 500 extra daily calories are all you need for a healthy twin pregnancy.


Make the most of the calories by avoiding junk food and opting for fruits, vegetables, grains, low-fat dairy products, and healthy protein like fish, chicken, beans, lean meat, nuts, and soy. Snack on these foods so you won't feel stuffed at meals.

That's right!
