I had no idea that a pregnant woman needs to have 80 or more grams of protien a day... comprable to a weight lifter.
this has really blown my mind... and changed my whole diet... grrr. I am realizing that in order to get all the protein I need.. i need to eat some sort of protein in every meal.... not an easy task for someone who dosent eat much meat... or drink milk...
I have to be very purposeful... to get it.
Things I've been eating :
Cottage Cheese
Yogurt
Almonds
almond Butter
beans
protein bars
protein powder
cheese
Cottage Cheese has been a huge help.... as just one cup packs a lot of protein..
Why am I sharing this? well just the way new moms talk about baby poop and stuff... Im pregnant and this is my world right now... making sure I get all that I need for the baby.
ohhh... and bean burritos are a yummy way to get it... ive been eating lots of those... Amys burritos have 10g per burrito. not too shabby.
