I'm six months pregnant and supposed to be getting 100 grams of protein a day...LOL I feel like to get that much I am eating ALL DAY long. What do you do to get enough. I don't want to drinnk protein shakes, and I can't stand protein bars. Any advice?

Eat lots of meats. Chicken and turkey is best but steak is a great source of protien as well.

-cottage cheese and pineapple
-chicken/beef/fish (be careful of certain kinds when pregnant)
-tofu chili - yummy
-Yogurt - you can add plain tofu to yogurt for extra protein, and you won't even taste it.
-red meat - bison, beef and lamb are great choices. Try to avoid really fatty meats like pork, sausage or any processed
-turkey/swiss cheese sandwiches
-3 or 5 bean salads (make yourself or buy at grocery store)
-edamame beans are delicious, with a bit of salt. You are getting a lot of protein, AND it's a green veggie. Perfect.
-drink milk. Regular and soy milk if you like it.
-eat lots of eggs (mostly the whites - I eat 1 in 5 egg yolks)With oatmeal, in sandwhichs, etc
-MY fave: spinach salad with almonds and/or walnuts (lots of protein) goat cheese, strawberries,tiny bit of red onion and a low fat, low sugar raspberry vinagrette.
YUMMY. GOOD LUCK

I had a lot of peanut butter toast. Whole wheat is better for you though. Try something like a chicken salad for lunch or something with beans (don't worry about the gas) and remember that those are just guidelines to help you. If it becomes a real problem, your doctor can suggest a supplement to help.

I've actually grown my own apples, pears, strawberries, figs and grapes over the years. And tomatoes, if you want to be strict and call them a fruit. Someday, I hope to have some space to do so again. I've also had fresh-picked oranges and several varieties of berry.

I have aversions to meat these day.So, to get enough protein...i have boiled eggs for lunch. They are not as bad for you as they were once thought to be...cholesterol wise....and try nuts....also cheese.
