5. Protein

You need 75 to 100 grams of protein every day while pregnant. Protein is essential to the proper growth of your baby. You need to be a meat eater and snack on nuts to get the protein you need. If you refuse to eat mean, at the very least, try tofu. You can also get some protein in your dairy products, just not as high. Once again, a good beef steak is your best choice!
