[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was told when I was pregnant to eat 80-100 g of protein a day and about 60g when not pregnant. No woman needs to consume more than 60-65 g a day unless pregnant. [/quote] A pregnant woman doesn't need to consume any extra food the first few months if she has an adequate diet already. A fetus requires very few calories. Gaining more than 10lbs during a preganancy, in addition to the 6-9lb fetus, is simply overeating. Protein requirements are based upon LMM. The more LMM, the more protein required. Activity as well. Some women require 150 grams of protein or more a day if active.[/quote] What is LMM?[/quote]
