And the Winner Is: Real Food for Pregnancy

You are what you eat. So, as much as you may want to inhale a dozen donuts for breakfast and throw down a pile of fries for lunch (because, if not during pregnancy, then when?), you should probably rein it in. The truth is, you and baby need key vitamins and nutrients right now—and there are plenty of healthy, delicious ways to feed your body and enjoy. The long and short of it? “Real food” is key.

In Real Food for Pregnancy, registered dietitian nutritionist Lily Nichols shares science-backed recommendations to help you eat better throughout pregnancy. Chock full of helpful tips, food inspiration and meal-planning ideas, it’s a great resource for those who want to nourish their bodies and their minds, while promoting optimal health for themselves and their developing babies. Remember, you’re eating for two now—so you’ll want to make every “real” bite count.

What We Love

  • Real Food for Pregnancy breaks science-backed prenatal nutrition information into simple and digestible tidbits and takeaways

  • In addition to sharing the important vitamins, nutrients and foods for a healthy mom-to-be and baby, Nichols offers insights on the not-so-great foods you should avoid, meal-planning encouragement, exercise regimens and more
