Hello, 

    I'm a bit of a lurker on this site but I figured this would be the best place to ask my question. I am currently 21 weeks pregnant with twins. At my last appt there were ketones and protein in my urine. The doctor said I need to increase my water intake and also my protein intake. When I asked her how many calories and grams of protein I should be eating, she didn't give me an answer. She just said to make sure I'm eating at least every 3 hours. So my question is how many calories and grams of protein did you or do you take in a day? I tracked my meals in livestrong for today and I only had 1400 calories...seems a little low for a twin pregnancy.  Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Not sure how much calories I get in a day.  I stopped keeping track when I became pregnant. 

I do know that my Dr. (and Andrea U ) told me to get lots of protein (I get like 100 grams minimum per day)

Water/liquids I could do better!  I am getting about 66 oz of water/liquids per day. 

Good luck

Thanks for responding. I wasn't counting calories until they told me I wasn't eating enough, so yesterday I counted and I came in around 1400 calories. I'm trying to do better on my water too, but it's hard sometimes.
