Energy Requirements in Pregnancy
Extra energy cost of pregnancy is 80,000
Kcal (throughout preg period)
Spent for growth of fetus, placenta &
associated maternal tissues
Weight gain in normal pregnancy is 12.5 kg,
out of which 4 kg is fat
BMR increased due to increased mass of
active tissues
Additional energy requirement / day
= 80,000 / 10 × 30 d = 266Kcal

A lactating mother in her 3rd month of
lactation period produces 600ml of milk
each day.
Calculate her daily average intake of energy
by using following data.
Non preg req.= 1600 Kcal
Energy in milk= 0.72 Kcal/ml
Energy available from fat deposits are
200Kcal/day
08/18/20 13
E cost for lactation = 600 x 0.72 x 100
80
= 540
Total E req= 1600 + 540 = 2140
Energy from fat=200
Average energy intake= 2140-200= 1940

A lactating mother in her 8th month of
lactation period produces 250 ml of milk
each day.
Calculate her daily average intake of
energy. You may choose relevant data from
following.
Non preg req.= 1600 Kcal
Energy in milk= 0.72 Kcal/ml
Energy available from fat deposits are
200Kcal/day
08/18/20 15
E cost for lactation = 250x 0.72 x 100
80
= 225
Total E req= 1600 + 225 = 1825
Energy from fat=200
Average energy intake=1825
