Hi girls,
Has anyone tried eating protein bars/drinks so far? I know that intake of high protein and calcium is a must for pregnant women. But is it advisable to eat those protein bars. For me, as i'm carrying twin babies, i'm more concerned about my diet. Though i eat our regular dhal for lunch, i get a doubt whether i'm taking proper percentage of protein in my diet. Kindly advice me.

Thanks,

I had the same question. I am a vegetarian(For protein, I eat dhal, milk, yogurt mainly) and I was not sure whether i am taking enough protein or not. So, I asked my doctor in my last Appt. regarding this. She said nothing wrong in taking them but she said she WILL NOT RECOMMEND THEM. If u read the labels on the protein bars, it says, expectant moms, nursing.....etc., should consult their doctor first before taking them.
I am not sure if every protein bar in the market has the same label but couple of them I checked have this label.
In my case I am NOT carrying twins. So, I think it is better for u to ask ur doctor first since ur case is different (I mean ur weight gain/ carrying twins etc.,).
So, my suggestion would be talk to your doctor before taking them.

Cheers,
Suma
