Ensure adequate carbohydrates, including whole grains like rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn.
Maintain a moderate intake of fats, with plant-based fats being more suitable for pregnant women, such as soybean oil, vegetable oil, peanut oil, and olive oil.
Increase mineral intake moderately, including calcium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, and magnesium, with calcium and iron being particularly important. Foods high in calcium include milk, egg yolks, soybeans, flour, and vegetables.
