How to eat during pregnancy to supplement nutrition?
First, set a weight gain goal during pregnancy based on your pre-pregnancy weight. If your pre-pregnancy weight is within the normal range, then gain 10-12.5kg during pregnancy. Weigh and record it every day. The weekly weight gain should not exceed 0.4kg, so as to adjust your diet.
Dietary recommendations during pregnancy
1. Supplement high-quality protein , fruits, vegetables and soybeans
- Early pregnancy - daily protein intake of 130~180 grams, vegetables 400~500 grams, and soy intake 25 grams.
- Second trimester - the daily protein intake is 150-200 grams, the vegetable intake is 300-500 grams, and the soy intake is 20 grams.
- Late pregnancy - the daily protein intake is 200-250 grams, the vegetable intake is 300-500 grams, and the soy intake is 20 grams.
2. Drink an appropriate amount of water.
The daily amount of water consumed during pregnancy is 1700-1900 ml.
3. Control the amount of sodium-containing condiments such as salt, soy sauce, and MSG.
The daily sodium intake during pregnancy is less than 6 grams. Therefore, it is recommended that if salt has been added to the recipe, do not add soy sauce or other condiments to this dish. .
What are the sources of high-quality protein?
Food sources of protein can be divided into two categories: plant-based protein and animal-based protein.
- Beans are rich in protein, especially soybeans, which contain up to 36% to 40% protein. The amino acid composition is also relatively reasonable, and their utilization rate in the body is high. They are a very good source of protein among plant proteins.
- Eggs contain 11%~14% protein and are an important source of high-quality protein.
- Milk (milk) generally contains 3% to 3.5% protein, which is the best source of protein for infants and young children.
- Meat includes the muscles of poultry, livestock and fish. Fresh muscle contains 15% to 22% protein. The nutritional value of muscle protein is better than plant protein and it is an important source of human protein.
Do I need protein supplements during pregnancy?
Protein powder is mainly used to replenish protein in a timely manner for people who lack protein. It is generally suitable for:
- trauma, burns , large-area skin ulcers, after major surgery, tumor radiation, chemotherapy patients, etc.
- Patients with anorexia nervosa, intestinal malabsorption, etc.
- Special groups of people who cannot normally consume high-protein foods such as meat and eggs, such as pregnant women, nursing mothers, and the elderly with weak gastrointestinal function, can also use protein powder appropriately.
For healthy pregnant women who eat a normal diet, eating according to the recommended amounts of the Dietary Guidelines and the guidance of the Dietary Balance Pagoda can fully meet their daily protein needs and do not require additional supplements.
If you supplement protein powder improperly, it will not only have no benefit but also be harmful to the body.
Can pregnant mothers eat crabs?
As long as we are not allergic, it is enough for us pregnant mothers to eat one crab at a time (100 grams of crab meat is about a crab weighing about half a catty). Besides, no one eats crabs every day, right? Therefore, for most people who occasionally try new things, these cholesterol cannot play the role of "making waves".
If we must look at the nutritional value, the high-quality protein, minerals and delicious taste of crab are also the reasons why pregnant mothers can eat it.
Will eating longan cause miscarriage during pregnancy?
In fact, it is not necessary. From a nutritional point of view, as long as we are not allergic to food, we can eat it and there will be no problems such as miscarriage.
Let’s analyze it from a nutritional perspective. The sugar content of longan is higher than that of common fruits such as oranges, apples and mangoes, and is almost equal to that of lychees.
In addition, its sodium content is not low, so it tastes sweeter than lychee.Therefore, we may need to control our intake of such high-sugar foods, let alone pregnant mothers.
However, there is currently no medical evidence proving that pregnant women will miscarry if they eat longan, so you don’t have to worry, just remember to eat it in moderation. Especially the dry version of this type of food will have a higher content of sugar and other ingredients (dried longan contains 976 grams of carbohydrates per 100 grams), so you need to pay more attention to controlling the intake.
