High-Risk Pregnancy
GD ladies... name 5 things besides eggs/meat/nuts to eat for protein please:-(
omg I am soooo tired of eggs and its only been a week, and peanut butter, and nuts. and i was never a big meat eater before preg. but im working more of that in of course for the baby. my sugars are mostly out of whack b/c of difficulty pairing carbs with protein for EVERY meal or snack. I cant eat any more Peanut Butter. sometimes my husband is like I smell like peanut butter hehe. any suggestions???
i just came back from store with a protein shake, a protein bar, low carb yogurt and more dreadful eggs of course....
also anyone know a good recipe for egg salad?
thanks for the support in advance. :-)

Cheese and beans! Not the best friends of a pregnant lady but if you can get past the gas they are really easy to eat. Or tofu but if you get queasy at all I'd stay away from it! I usually cut up some cheese, add some crackers, and some type of fruit. Oh and V8 came out with a protein shake in two different fruit flavors (its in the juice isle). I use to do personal training and am trying to pack on the 50lbs my high risk OB wants me to gain! lol I feel your pain! I have had an issue with anything poultry since I got pregnant!
Carrots with hummus.
Fruit or wheat thins with low-fat mini babybell cheese.
Greek yogurt has more protein than regular yogurt and my nutritionist said you can eat it on its own as a balanced carb.
So with you on the cottage cheese! I have some for my evening snack with blueberries or a little sugar free jelly. If you're not a big meat eater (I'm a veggie) you can try Morningstar "chicken patties," Garden burgers. Be sure to check the carbs on the box, they may count as 1 carb choice.
Good luck
