our site presents … Goals for healthy pregnancy eating
It's important to eat a balanced diet when you're pregnant.
Each day try to eat …
Grains
7 oz per day. Choose whole grains. They have the most fiber, vitamins, and nutrients.
Fruit
2 cups per day. Eat a rainbow of colors. High-fiber fruit prevents hemorrhoids and constipation.
Vegetables
3 cups per day. Dark, leafy greens are a good source of folate and iron.
Protein
6 oz per day. That's about the size of two decks of cards. Choose lean meat. Eat 8 to 12 oz of cooked fish per week. Make sure to get enough sources of protein and iron.
Dairy
3 cups per day. 1 cup of milk + 1 cup of yogurt + 1.5 oz cheese. Dairy is a good source of calcium and protein.
Oil
6 tsp per day. The best sources include: canola, olive, safflower. Fish, avocados, nuts, seeds, and olives are awesome sources too!
If big meals are unappealing, try smaller meals throughout the day.
And just to be safe, take a prenatal vitamin every day.
Happy eating!
