  I used it on and off during this pregnancy - they don't have pregnancy setting but I adjusted my activity level to very active (to get more calories) during first trimester. During second trimester, I "fake added" 200 calories in activity to get those extra calories recommended. During third trimester, it was 300 calories. I always set my goal to "maintain". I am almost 39 wks now find have gained about 20 lbs. I was on the lower end of normal weight pre-pregnancy. I liked using the app to keep tabs on sugar and sodium level, and it helped me make healthier choices throughout - like eating an apple instead of a candy bar!

  @hannahyejee - I have been tracking, too. I am 20 weeks and just have it on maintenance and have not been adding calories. I love it and i feel like it is good to monitor what I am eating, protein, etc. Thanks for sharing your success! Honestly, I thought there was a way to put that you were pregnant on it.

  Try adding pregnancy as a food. I did it for breastfeeding and it had several options depending on baby's age and it added the negative calories.
