Is protein rich diet okay during pregnancy?
Hello and congratulations on your pregnancy! Protein is crucial during pregnancy because it is the building block for all of our cells and is required for healthy growth and development. Good sources of protein include animal protein such as chicken, beef, eggs, and fish. It is very important to make sure all these proteins are cooked thoroughly and well to prevent food-borne illness. A diet that is balanced in protein, carbohydrates, and fat is important for a healthy pregnancy along with getting adequate amounts of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). It is best to consult with a Dietitian to understand how much protein you need during pregnancy. I would be happy to help you on your journey if you would like more individualized support. READ MORE
