Any vegans out there ? How are you managing with the protein in take while pregnant

Question

Hi there ! I'm 12 weeks pregnant today and kind of struggling getting 40-50 grams of protein a day ! I started eating eggs but they gross me out . Chick peas and lentils get me crazy gassy😳and I don't like tempeh . I'm not so nauseous anymore so it's a pleasure but all I want to eat is fruits and veggies...

Answer

I take my prenatal, b12 , folic acid 5 mg, and zinc and vitamin c . True I was drinking a protein shake but it was totally grossing me out . I'll try it again . Thanks !

Answer

You could take Rainbow light prenatal vitamins. They are vegan, and are really nutrient dense. I would say eat a lot of good fats.. Avocados, lentils, leafy greens 😊

Answer

Not a vegan, but my SIL is. She uses protein shakes, chickpeas, almonds, etc

Answer

I use a protein drink called raw protein it's organic, and vegan. Add some spinach or kale and maybe some fruit :)

Answer

Look up the Brewer diet, it's heavy on protein (I aim for 80-100g a day, I'm a vegetarian) and he has a vegan plan and tons of great info.
