Any good suggestions out there for a protein source besides chicken and lactose free? I am pregnant and get the early morning hypolycemic sshakes and late day ones too. I really don't feel like chicken at 9am and sometimes I am just tired of eating and tired of drinking only water. Any suggestions? Thanks

My daughter has in intollerance to dairy but when she was pregnant she could eat anything without problems.Nuts and beans are a good supply of protien.As for drink, have you tried rice milk, they alsoo have soy and almond milks. I use rice milk on puffed rice cereal.Hope that helpsbest wishes for you and the baby.

yes ususally my belly does fine with milk when I am pregnant - jsut that it still makes me sleepy. I do have an almond milk I use on cereals _ guess I can try rice milk too!

I can't tolerate 99% of food but lentil soup is quite tolerable and yogurt (many people including myself seem to tolerate yougurt although milk seems bad). lentil soup has 9 grams of protien per serving. I typically take 2 servings in 1 meal when I eat that. I can make a dish with lentils and rice which is quite easy to digest. When I am feeling relatively better, I can tolerate 'overcooked' beans. I can make some dishes with garbanzo beans and kidney beans which are relatively tasty (my diet is sooo limited these days!). In general, my body tolerates almost nothing, but I still am able to get 50-60 grams of protien for a less than 2000 calorie diet. I still haven't gained any of the 30 pounds I lost in the last year and a half, but that's a different story. At least my weight is steady after I increased the number of meals and decreased the size per meal. The overall health still sucks but it's slightly better with this new strategy. hope this helps.
