Diet during pregnancy

Labels: , , , Posted by Revina Octavianita on Monday, July 2, 2007 at 8:51 AM


Is there any specific recommended diet during pregnancy?
Good nutrition are identical for those who are pregnant and who are not. The basic food groups are the same, which are:

1. meat, poultry, fish, eggs, nuts and legumes
2. milk, yogurt, and cheese
3. bread, rice, pasta and cereal
4. fruits
5. vegetables

You should eat them all in balance.
The only difference is that pregnant women should take in about 10 more grams of protein per day. For them, protein is required for their increase in blood volume, the health of their breasts and
uterus, building their baby's body. The protein recommendation during pregnancy is 60 grams per day.

Here are sources of protein:













































From animal From vegetable
Cheese Black beans
Eggs Bulgur
Fish and shellfish Chickpeas
Lean meat Lentils
Milk Rice
Organ meats Split tdeas
poultry Tofu
Yogurt Tempeh

White beans
