General nutritional recommendations

At Instituto Bernabeu, our recommendation on food for a woman who is considering fertility treatment would be for her to try to normalise her body weight before and during fertility treatment. She should follow a a diet which provides the amount of kilocalories appropriate for female body weight (QUANTITY: quantitatively sufficient): Hypercalorific if underweight or malnurished parameters / Hypercalorific in cases of overweight or obese women but only until conception / Normocalorific if weight is normal. The minimum necessary supply of all nutrients should be ensured (QUALITY: qualitatively sufficient and balanced) and supplimented with supplements currently recommended by medical societies (as defined previously).
