am I eating enough

Hi! I’m always scared I won’t eat enough during pregnancy (I’m not pregnant yet, but we’ll start with Clomid soon).

I usually eat:
Breakfast: 2 slices of bread with some fruit and a bag of Chocomel
Lunch: a Waldkorn triangle or 2 pistolets or a croque or a Biostok bread roll, about 85g or... always a 250g tub of coleslaw with dressing and a piece of fruit
Snack: a yogurt or a piece of fruit
Dinner: a plate of hot food
Dessert while watching TV: a piece of fruit and a Cornetto or a fruit puree or a small bowl of pudding or an ice cream scoop or...
Is this enough?

On Sundays we have a very late breakfast/brunch and I eat: a coffee cake, a pistolet, a piece of fruit, a bag of Chocomel, and then around 3 pm a piece of cake at a tea room, dinner a plate of hot food, and then for TV another piece of fruit and a Danette or something.
What do you think?
What do you usually eat?

    You eat more and healthier than me. I hardly ever snack in between, sometimes just some fruit or a cookie or something.
    I eat 2 sandwiches in the morning, 2 sandwiches in the afternoon, and in the evening vegetables, meat/fish and potatoes.
    But when I was pregnant I ate more, but then I also just had more appetite.

    Oh my, I'm not really that focused on food either... For your baby, it's more than enough, really... I'm now pregnant with my third, and I was very sick during all three pregnancies, and I barely ate anything during the first three months. The hospital staff also mentioned that your baby will make sure to get enough. You always have reserves they can snack on... Drinking is much more important.

    I’m not really into nutrition either. I just make sure I get enough veggies/fruit and drink water. But it’s been so rough that I’m just glad I kept anything down.
