Avatar f tn Beans, lentils, legumes, eggs...you can do some protein bars and protein shakes if you think you're not getting enough protein, you should probably ask your OB about recommendations. I drink protein shakes sometimes since I'm not a natural meat-eater and I'm in the third trimester when the baby's protein needs are pretty high.

Avatar f tn My husband who has cirrhosis now tries to substitute red meat, which was his staple for years, with peanut butter, fish, eggs, and beans. His hepatologist also encourages him to take protein shakes if he has a poor appetite to ensure adequate protein. Hope that helps.

You might also like protein shakes from whey or soy, plus there are various protein bars that do not use animal products. Be sure to read the ingredients before buying them. Seitan is another popular protein source of vegetarians.
Avatar f tn Very very very normal in your first trimester and even Into your second. There are ways around it, I found protein shakes worked really good for me. Because the smell or thought of meat made me sick. Plus you can mix in veggies like spinach and other veggies the contain.protein and it doesn't taste like them. Try and eat protein rich foods, like beans! I couldn't stomach eggs until my third trimester. Read up on protein high foods.. it doesn't have to be just meat and dairy.
Avatar f tn Eat plenty of carbs before workout but don't go overboard. Don't eat carbs after 7pm or so. Eat about 1g of protein for every pound of body weight per day. Fish and lean meat have lots if protein. Protein shakes will help with bulk. Don't use creatine too much, it isn't too good for your heart :/ Of course eat minimal junk food and plenty of fruit and vegtables. There are also supliments called animal cuts you should check out. They're quite good.

Avatar f tn Do any of you ladies use protein powder for protein shakes? If so, which kind do you use?
