eating for two
Pregnancy appetite explanation
Eating for two describes consuming extra food during pregnancy, based on the idea that a pregnant woman must nourish both herself and her developing baby: Now that she's pregnant, she's eating for two.
The phrase is often used to justify increased appetite or indulgent eating, though nutritionists note actual caloric needs increase only modestly.
