Proteins are especially important for the nutrition of the expectant mother, since they create new baby cells. Incorrect intake of proteins, as well as inappropriate consumption of calories, can lead to the child being less than normal. Therefore, pregnant women should try to consume 100 grams of protein per day.

Women with nausea and vomiting need more protein, four servings per day.

When calculating a portion of protein, it is necessary to take into account proteins that are found in products containing calcium: a glass of milk and about 30 g of cheese are delivered. 1/3 portion of protein; a glass of yogurt - 1/2 serving; 100 grams of canned salmon are equal to 1 serving of protein.

If at the end of the day you notice that half or even a whole portion is missing, you can quickly make up for it by eating: salad from the egg - 1/2 serving of protein; double milkshake - 1/3 of protein or 300 g of low-fat homemade cottage cheese with fresh fruit, raisins, cinnamon or chopped tomato.

Protein contains many products: milk, cottage cheese, low-fat yogurt, cheese, tuna, chicken or turkey meat without skin, fish, shrimp, crab, lobster, lean beef, veal, lamb, pork, nuts, eggs in steep, sprouted grains.

Pregnant women should not use liquid or bulk high-protein supplements because they are harmful to health. Sumy. Ua.
