Take the time to enter your prenatal supplement. I think you will find you are meeting your nutritional needs when you add this to your intake.

OK, here is my issue. I am eating Chives on everything. I am also eating quite a bit of romaine lettuce each day. I usually start each day with a folic acid rich cereal (25%-50%). Why is it that I am always short according to my nutrition tracker? Not to mention I am always short in iron.

I am eating 1,600-1,800 calories a day!!! Since I am trying to stick to only healthy foods, This is A LOT of food! I can't increase it! I am in my first trimester and shouldn't gain due to being over weight. Any suggestions?
