Can't keep proteins down! What do I do?

Question

I'm 8 weeks. I can eat fruit and veggies, but proteins are sooo hard to eat and keep down. I know I need protein, but I don't know what to do. Any suggestions? I can do protein shakes, but they are so high in sugar...and I'm already getting a lot of sugar from fruits. What do I do?!

Answer

By proteins do you mean meat? Have you tried grains like quinoa or couscous? They're great on a salad, as a side, or in place of a starch like rice in a main dish. Beans, nuts, and legumes are also great and very versatile. I also love Greek yogurt for protein. I use it in my smoothies, oatmeal, and even in place of mayo in sauces or dressings.

Answer

Have you tried premier protein shakes? They have 30grams protein and 1gram sugar

Answer

You could try proteins other than meats like peanut butter, beans, milk, nuts ect 
I couldn't keep hardly any protein down my whole first trimester though, everything is still healthy and good at 24 weeks now

Answer

What about preparing it in a different form e.g..Tomato,Pumpkin,Broccoli Soup.

Answer

Cheese and peanut butter is good too.... that's what I lived off of for my first few weeks lol

I'm having the same issue , sort of . It's not that I can't keep it down , it's that I just flat out don't want it. I'm stopping by the grocery store tomorrow before work go stock up on some yogurt .

Answer

I would try other proteins, like peanut butter, or do a protein shake

Answer

I struggled so much with this during my pregnancy. Dairy worked for me though, like yoghurt!
