Spot on. The thing is for women who are already slim or fit when they get pregnant, 'eating for two' isn't going  1a35   to make them balloon up. When my mom was pregnant with me she decided to 'eat whatever she wanted', and she ended up eating a little more candy/sweet snacks, and extra portions of french fries (usually in the middle of the night). She was also still doing physical work. She didn't gain any more weight than she needed to.  Women who balloon up in pregnancy are the ones who were always borderline fats and always wanted to binge but never found the excuse to do it, imo.
