so for some reason this important nutrient is the one that my body would like me not to have - its my only food aversion - esepcially with red meat, even more chopped red meat (hamburgers, meatballs).  Any suggestions of foods where I can supplement protein (without soy - I an trying to stay away from all soy in general and with this pregnancy) TIA!

    I have a protein aversion too! except mine is with chicken!!  Last pregnancy I HATED HATED HATED chicken, and my love for chicken never came back.  Now it's getting worse again!

    how about other types of beans? and hummus? milk?

    Mix black beans or garbanzo beans into your salads.  Eat almonds as snacks.  Try different nut butters (macadamia, walnut, etc.) on crackers.  Mix quinoa with corn for a whole protein, make a kind of pilaf or salad out of it.  Put walnuts or almonds in your oatmeal in the morning.

    I forgot eggs and lentils!  And there's protein in a lot of dairy products, so if you are getting your daily calcium from foods, that should help, as well as protein-fortified pastas and breads you can find.  They even make quinoa pasta.

    Make a fruit smoothie!

     You can go to GNC or a Sams/Costco/BJs and pick up a big container of powdered protein and just add it to your smoothie ... you won't even taste it. And if you need a little more in there you can add some peanut butter.

     My favorite smoothie:

    plain dried oatmeal, protein, banana, and an assortment of frozen fruit.

    With first PG, I ended up really NOT liking red meat.  Elk aversion happened first, followed by beef.  The flavor was just overpowering to me.  We ate lots of chicken and turkey while I was PG!

    Rice and beans also make a complete protein [all essential amino acids involved].
