  • Expecting twins does not mean you need to eat for three - listen to your body, eat when hungry and stop when full, just like any other pregnancy.
  • A balanced diet is key: include fruits, vegetables, starchy wholegrains, lean proteins like fish, eggs and pulses, plus calcium-rich dairy foods daily.
  • Aim for at least five portions of fruits and vegetables a day, and try to include two portions of fish weekly, including oily fish for omega-3s.
  • Worried about meeting protein needs during twin pregnancy? Explore our Mylo Care Pregabites- Pregnancy Protein Diskettes designed to support daily protein intake deliciously.

A lot of women question whether they should eat more if they are having twins - No, you don't need to eat more. The healthy eating advice is the same, whether you're expecting twins or more or one baby. Listen to your body. Eat when you feel hungry, and stop when you feel full.

Have a balanced diet, full of nutrients and the below -

  • Fruits and vegetables, whether fresh, frozen, tinned, dried, or juiced. Aim to have at least five portions a day.
  • Starchy food, such as potatoes, and, ideally wholegrain, rice, pasta and bread.
  • Foods rich in protein, such as lean, well-cooked meat, fish, eggs and pulses. Try to include at least two portions of fish a week, including oily fish.
  • Dairy foods such as milk, cheese and yoghurt, which contain calcium.

So, there isn’t a necessity to eat more when having twins. But there is a necessity to include the above in your diet, and to intake a balanced diet filled with nutrients.

Still have doubts? Consult a dietician!
