My height is 5'-6" and I normally weigh in at 118 lbs. When I was at the height of my pregnancy with the twins, I weighed in at 150 lbs. Three weeks after delivering the kids I was back down to my pre-pregnancy weight.
Below are a few tips on what I ate in a day. I was actually on bed rest towards the end (my petite body frame was not meant to carry multiples)! With that said, I was not only trying to eat healthy, I was also trying to keep my meal prep in the kitchen as minimal as possible. Buying pre-made salads and pre-cut fruit from the grocery store was key.
I literally ate the same meals day in, and day out, which honestly got incredibly boring. All I really wanted to do was eat cookies, fried chicken, and potato chips but I resisted...and man did it pay off! I got all of the healthy nutrients I needed for the babies, and for myself, and dropped that baby weight in no time.
