Pregnant women need, on average, how many extra calories per day?
  1. 1000
  2. 300
  3. 500
  4. Zero
Explanation
Answer: B - A pregnant women should consume approximately 300 additional calories per day to maintain a healthy pregnancy. Consuming too many calories can cause unnecessary weight gain. Calorie limits can restrict fetal growth, and can lead to increased fatigue for the pregnant mom. Extra calories should come from healthful food choices rather than "junk food," and can easily be met with a snack or two throughout the day.
