- Title
Changes in Energy Intakes During Pregnancy and Lactation in a National Sample of US Women.
- Authors
Murphy, Suzanne P.; Abrams, Barbara F.
- Abstract
Increases in energy intakes during pregnancy and lactation were evaluated by examining dietary data for 458 pregnant women who participated in the Continuing Surveys of Food Intakes by Individuals conducted in 1985 and 1986. Energy intakes were well below recommendations during all reproductive states; however, increases during pregnancy approximated recommendations, while increases during lactation were low. Postpartum non-lactating intakes did not return to prepregnancy levels for Black women or women with lower incomes.
