Virginia has been referred to you by her gynecologist. Virginia’s doctor is concerned because, not only has she not gained any weight in her first trimester, she has actually lost 4 pounds. Her doctor’s second concern is that her recent blood test revealed that she is now ane- mic. Virginia enjoys swimming three times per week, yoga twice a week, and walking with her girlfriends twice a week. She states that she is feeling great and is having fun being active. Virginia claims that she has been eating more lately; she has added a midafternoon snack of fresh fruit, and a glass of milk before bed. You ask her to record a 3-day food log and email it to you as soon as possible. Which macronutrients and micronutrients should you focus on when analyzing her 3-day food log?
