I eat soya chunks sometimes because I am vegetarian and need protein. Now I am pregnant and someone said not to eat too much soya. Did you include it in your diet?
With my PCOS background I was a little careful about overdoing soya, so I just kept it in small normal amounts and asked my doctor. She said moderate is fine. I wouldnt overload on it daily, balance with dal, eggs, paneer too.
Honestly soya is one of the cheapest protein options, so it was great for my budget during pregnancy. I balanced it with dal and seasonal veggies. Worked fine for me, just keep variety so you dont get bored or overdo one thing.
Soya is a good protein, I ate soya chunks and tofu regularly. Just dont eat a kilo of it daily, moderation is the key like any food. Cook it well and mix up your protein sources.
I had soya chunks as a protein source in pregnancy and it worked well for me, kept me full. I kept it moderate, not every single day. My focus was balanced protein overall, not just one thing. Check with your doctor if you have any thyroid or hormone issue though.
