Why am I always hungry?

I started tracking my food again today because I was gaining too much weight. Whenever I do that, it really makes me feel accountable for everything I eat and I usually cut way back and stop eating the little bits here and there.
For some reason though I just can't stop eating. I had lunch at about 12:00 and within an hour and a half I was hungry. I told myself that I didn't want to have to log something so soon so I would hold off until I couldn't anymore... I didn't make it another half an hour before I decided I just had to eat. At that time (about 2:00) I had an apple and that wasn't enough so I went and got a hard boiled egg too. Now it is barely 3:30 and I feel like I'm starving again. I can't stop thinking about peanut butter & jelly.
This is just ridiculous. I don't want to end up a heifer at the end of this pregnancy but can it really be good for me to honestly feel hungry and not eat?

Maybe I should just start snacking on carrots all day so I feel less guilty about it.

If your hungry your body and the baby need it. You sound like you are making good choices so it shouldn't be an issue!

If you are making healthy choices then you should be fine. Maybe eat things that will stick to you not to make you hungry might help.

Your baby and your body must need it otherwise it wouldn't be asking for food. Are you drinking alot of water? Remember to drink at least 8-10 glasses a day, if not more. That might help curb your appitite. With that said I better go drink some water As long as you are choosing healthy foods you are fine.

I agree your baby must need the extra food. What about a glass of milk does that help the baby and you at all? I know a lot of people do not like milk or just can not tolerate it during pregnancy. Eat healthy Elaine it will be good for you and the baby. Have little snacks the whole day.

I know what you mean I felt hungry all the time. Actually since i'm nursing I still do. But I'm trying to stick to the good foods, I think that's all we can do.
