The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says your diet during pregnancy should include the following daily amounts:

• Six ounces of grains. One slice of whole-grain bread, a cup of ready-to-eat cereal, or a 1/2 cup of cooked rice is equal to about one ounce from this group.
• Two-and-a-half cups of vegetables.
• One-and-a-half to two cups of fruit, which could include 100 percent fruit juice or dried fruit.
• Five to 5 1/2 ounces of meat or beans. An egg, two tablespoons of peanut butter, or 1/2 cup of seeds or nuts is equal to about one ounce from this group.
• Three cups of milk. A cup of yogurt or 1 1/2 to two ounces of cheese can be considered one cup from this group.
