I'm vegetarian and a bit worried im not eating enough protein, mostly dal roti at home. Now in 4th month and want to make sure baccha is getting enough. how much do we actually need daily?
According to my pregnancy tracker, the requirement is about 75g to 100g daily, especially during the second and third trimesters. The app helped me log my daily food, and I managed it by adding Greek yogurt, sattu, and boiled eggs to my diet.
I am currently trying to plan and my mother-in-law was saying we should start focusing on diet early. I read somewhere we need around 70-80 grams of protein daily once pregnant. It feels like a lot, but taking small portions of sprouts and milk daily might help.
Having a PCOS history, managing insulin levels and protein intake was very important for me. My nutritionist advised me to aim for around 80 grams daily to keep my energy stable. It's always best to get a customized plan from your doctor based on your body's specific needs.
Hey, don't stress too much about exact numbers and counting every gram, okay? Just try to include protein in every meal like paneer, daal, eggs, or chana. Your doctor will also give you a protein powder anyway, so just eat well and chill!
I used to worry so much that my baby won't grow properly if I missed my protein target even by 5 grams! Honestly, aiming for around 75 grams is standard, but please don't stress yourself sick like I did. Just eat your daal-chawal, paneer and ask your gynac if you need a supplement.
Haha, carrying twins meant my doctor was constantly behind me to eat double the protein! I had to aim for almost 100g daily, which felt like I was constantly chewing on paneer and eggs. Just focus on high-protein snacks throughout the day, your body really needs that stamina.
Look, practically speaking, tracking exact grams while managing office is impossible. I just made simple rules: double portions of dal, a handful of almonds at my desk, and a quick protein shake prescribed by my doc. It's much easier than overcomplicating things.
