How Much During Protein in pregnancy?

The body requires additional protein for tissue growth and development

during pregnancy. Mother and baby both benefit from protein.In most circumstances,

this is equivalent to 10–35% of daily caloric consumption. Lean meats, fish,

dairy products, and legumes are ideal sources of protein during pregnancy, as they

are in other circumstances. However, pick fish high in omega-3 fatty acids

and low in mercury during pregnancy  such salmon, sardines, and anchovies. However, be

cautious to stay away from species that may be rich in mercury, such as king mackerel, shark, swordfish, and tilefish.
