There is no exact answer, only some general guidelines. It is important to first be taking a pre-natal vitamin daily, too. Then, figure out what the mother's daily caloric intake was before pregnancy. Then, add 100 to 150 extra calories a day to that for every child. For example, if the mother usually ate 1,400 calories a day, when pregnant she should be eating between 1,400 and 1,550 calories a day. If that same mother was pregnant with twins, she should then be eating between 1,500 and 1,600 calories a day.

How many calories do you need when pregnant with triplets?

There is no exact number. Instead, it varries per person. A simple and fairly accurate way to figure it out is to take the number of calories the mother consumes on average (not pregnant). For example, say that is 1,500 calories. Then, add about 100 to 150 calories per baby. For triplets, that would mean about 300 t 400 extra calories. So then it is good for the moth to eat between 1,500 and 2,000 calories a day.

How many calories do you need to eat to maintain 800 pounds?

That depends on how many calories the person in question's body requires to stay alive, or their BMR (basal metabolic rate) which depends on age, sex and weight. If they need 3000 calories, they will need to eat 3000 calories to maintain their weight. If they need 4000 calories, they need 4000 calories to maintain their weight. In addition, if they eat more than their BMR, they will gain weight, if they eat less, they will lose weight. In theory, you can have 2 totally different people who weight 800 pounds, BUT they each require different amounts of calories to maintain their 800 pounds.
