following scenario:Jennifer is a 25 year old woman who has just found out she is pregnant. Her doctor has estimated that she is about 8 weeks along. Jennifer is 5'5" tall, and her pre-pregnancy weight was 170 lbs. Jennifer has a busy schedule and rarely gets a chance to shop for groceries, so she eats out quite a bit. Prior to becoming pregnant, she had attempted to adopt a healthy diet and has started to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into her diet. Her major downfall is that she does not always remember to eat breakfast. She has been experiencing a significant amount of morning sickness, and has discovered the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on white bread are one of the only food items that do not make her feel ill, so she has been eating them for lunch almost daily. Jennifer is also not very active. Prior to her pregnancy, she would get less than 30 minutes of activity per day.
