Eggs
Many women develop aversions to meat while pregnant. Eggs are an excellent alternative protein source, since they contain all the essential amino acids your body needs, says Hattner.
There’s nothing better for a quick dinner than an omelet with lots of chopped vegetables and a bit of cheese. If cooking aromas make you feel sick, hard-boil a batch of eggs to keep on hand in the refrigerator: Eat them whole for grab-and-go breakfasts and snacks, or chop them up into green salads.
Oat flour
In some days in week, you should have breakfast with a bowl of oat soup. Why? Carbohydrate in oat flour helps pregnant women feel full in a long time.
In addition, bran of oat also has components that help pregnant women reduce the rate of cholesterol in blood.
Instead of buying oat that has synthetic taste and high content of sugar, you should use raw oat to reduce unnecessary quantity of sugar.
Green vegetable
Cooked spinach contains a lot of folate and Fe. Kale and beet are 2 good sources that provide calcium.
Pregnant women can make salad by using kinds of vegetable whose leaves have dark color (darker color will prove that it has more vitamins) to increase nutrients for meals. You can add green vegetables to soup and noodles.
Oranges
They are rich in vitamin C, folate and fiber. They have nearly 90% of liquid form, so they can adapt your daily demand about liquid (lacking water will make you feel tired).
Beans
Navy beans, lentils, black beans, pinto beans, chickpeas … there are so many to choose from. “Beans contain the most fiber and protein of all the vegetables,” says Ward.
You already know that it’s important to get enough protein during pregnancy, but you may not yet realize that fiber could become your new best friend. When you’re pregnant, your gastrointestinal tract slows down, putting you at risk for constipation and hemorrhoids. Fiber can help prevent and relieve these problems.
In addition, says Ward, food that contains fiber tends to be rich in nutrients. This is certainly true of beans, which are good sources of iron, folate, calcium, and zinc.
