When you are pregnant, you are not just eating for yourself but also for your child. During pregnancy a mother needs to consume an additional 350 to 400 calories per day to provide the right nutrition for themselves and their baby. Protein supplements go a long way in ensuring that pregnant mothers get their required dose of protein, one of the most recommended supplements by doctors is protein powder for pregnant ladies. Protein powders were traditionally associated only with body builders but that is far from reality. Doctors recommend that pregnant women should take 70 to 100 gm of protein a day.
