I think it’s best to talk to your doctor. In my opinion i would think not since your baby needs extra nutrients. Maybe switch to healthier food and still stay in your 200-300 over standard calorie range. Just about modification! But again, that’s my opinion and would be best to talk to your doctor!

I would say eat nutrient dense foods from now on but don't try to lose weight while pregnant. DEFINITELY talk to your doctor before you diet while pregnant.

I'm losing weight while pregnant because I can't keep food down, even at 26 weeks and they are really worried and have almost sent me to the ER several times and I was kinda chunky before.
