ENERGY
CALORIE needs increased with the addition of ± 285 calories / day or 14% from before pregnancy because of increased basal metabolic rate and the addition of Weight Loss.
Energy used for:
1. Concept
2. Metabolism
3. Increased oxygen consumption

PROTEIN

Addition of 200-300% from pre-pregnancy
Fe is used for:

used to:
1. Formation of fetal bones and teeth pd
2. Increased metabolism Examples: milk

Iodine

Iodine is used to:
1. Increased production of the hormone thyroxine
2. Increased metabolism

CALCIUM
Addition ± 400 mg / day
Calcium is used for:
1. The growth of bone and teeth
2. Regulate cell function and hormones, eg milk, fish, cheese, shrimp, Ca supplement
