Nutrient needs during the life stages of pregnancy and lactation are increased relative to women who are not pregnant or lactating. Mathematical models predict that energy requirements increase by an estimated 300 kcal/day during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy and by 500 kcal/day during lactation

2. RDA(recommended
dietary allowances)
Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) are the
levels of intake of essential nutrients that, on the
basis of scientific knowledge, are judged by the
Food and Nutrition Board to be adequate to meet
the known nutrient needs of practically all healthy
persons.
RDA is to be used as a guide for the individual
intake less than the RDA does not necessarily
indicate.
