My doc told me to add more protein in my diet but didnt really explain why. Im veg so also a bit confused how to manage it. Can someone tell me why its such a big deal?
Protein helps in stabilizing blood sugar levels, which is crucial if you have gestational diabetes. I paired my carbs with protein like curd or nuts to avoid sugar spikes.
During my clinical consultation, the hospital nutritionist gave me a customized protein chart. Definitely ask your doctor about your daily protein requirements.
Protein is literally the building block for your baby's cells and brain development. Don't skip your eggs, sprouts, or protein powders if your doc suggested.
