Question by Letitia L: How many calories should a pregnant woman eat a day to remain healthy?
My sister suffers with anorexia and has just discovered that she became pregnant after losing her period for 6 months. She is very determined to increase her food intake so she does not risk damage to the baby. Of course this is extremely difficult for a person in her situation. So she is booked to see a psychiatrist soon.

But how many calories would she have to eat?
Would she have to continue increasing her intake throughout the pregnancy?

This would be a question for her doctor as it varies from person to person anyway without added conditions (as a safety until she sees her doc I would go over 2000)
