Higher nutrient need: Pregnancy requires more calorie intake than usual because of all the changes the body is going through, and the growing baby. It would be quite normal for the body to burn through everything eaten after 8 hours of sleep. If weight is rising appropriately and there is no vomiting, then this would be unlikely to be anything serious.

Hunger in pregnancy: Please see a physician who can take a fasting blood test for glucose to rule out hypoglycemia. Are you in your second trimester of pregnancy? Your baby will require more calories as he/she grows within your uterus. http://www.whattoexpect.com/pregnancy/symptoms-and-solutions/appetite.aspx
