Im in second trimester and trying to eat better but no idea how much protein is actually enough. Veg diet mostly so thoda worried im falling short. How do u all manage it?
The protein requirement increases, but the exact amount depends on your body weight and health. Please check with your gynac or diet consultant to get a personalized meal plan safely.
Protein is crucial not just during pregnancy but also later for milk supply. From my experience, starting a habit of eating handful of soaked almonds and walnuts daily really helps in the long run.
Honestly, trying to calculate grams of protein when you can barely sit comfortably is a task! I just eat a bowl of curd or boiled chana whenever I can. Keep it simple and don't stress over numbers.
I recently delivered and my doctor had stressed on protein for tissue repair. I made sure to include sattu drinks and eggs in my diet daily, and it definitely helped with my recovery too.
I am trying to eat more protein but find it so hard to digest heavy dals right now. Are protein powders safe to consume during pregnancy, or should we strictly stick to natural foods?
I felt so overwhelmed trying to eat enough protein for my baby's growth. I started adding paneer and sprouts to my daily meals, and knowing I was nourishing my baby made me feel so happy.
My pregnancy tracker recommended aiming for about 75g of protein daily in the second and third trimesters. I used a food logging app to track my meals, which made managing protein targets super easy.
