I believe that during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, the woman's energy needs increases by 350 to 450 kilocalories per day. Energy needs during pregnancy are no higher than the Estimated requirement for non pregnant women until the second trimester, there after energy need per day is 340 kcal and 452 kcal in the second and third trimesters, respectively.
