How many extra calories per day are you all consuming being that you're carrying more than 1? I read somewhere it's 300 more each baby. That seems like such a huge amount so I'm curious to know what you all are doing?
I use an app called myfitnesspal and have been using it since becoming pregnant so I don't want anything to think I'm going crazy stressing over calories. Just curious. Thanks.

It's overwhelming really. It also takes a lot of calcium to grow three skeletons. I've switched to whole milk and try to drink lots of it. I also add a carnation instant breakfast to milk and have that in addition to a meal.
Hyperemesis has made it pretty difficult to get food in period, so when I actually can eat and crave something, I eat it!
My fitness pal is great for tracking, if you aren't meeting your cal goal, try to add in something high calorie- protein bar maybe?

That many calories IS insane! Now I've found out I'm anemic, my hemoglobin yesterday was less than 10
I can't stand iron pills, they make me so sick, so I'm not sure what we will do. I also read calcium can inhibit iron uptake- it's like, damned if you do, damned if you don't!
Perhaps your OB knows of a dietician that can help? I'm thinking that may be the next step for us too!
