There are people the idea that pregnant female must do to satisfy any food cravings during pregnancy. This leads to an increase in the normal diet of 1,000 calories (a normal diet for a woman in no-load is 2000 calories / day), while the caloric requirements for the developing fetus during pregnancy increased by only 300 calories day. So an increase of 300 cal / day (2000 +300 = 2300) is sufficient to a normal intake of 2000 cal / day.

It is a bad idea implemented in the nation. This leads to weight gain over 15-20 pounds during pregnancy, and many women who are pregnant or already gave birth, say "but how I gained so much?". The answer is that, by a substantial increase in unjustified consumption of food "in order to make all desires", for normal requirements grow only 300 cal / day. It is therefore recommended to make smart choices and healthy.
