Protein during ivf

So some of these are for when you're also pregnant.

For protein - Chickpeas, lentils, beef, hummus, cheese, yoghurt (Greek yoghurt is great for protein), seafood sticks. Don't forget omega-3 in fish (limit portions though), folic acid in green leafy veg, vitamin d in eggs, fortified milk and some cereals and I think whole meal bread. Cereals will also have iron. Have an orange for the vitamin c to help with iron absorbance - a whole orange is better than drinking juice as less sugar and more fibre. You'll want lots of fibre when you do become pregnant, things get a bit sluggish in that department! Porridge is good, I have it with berries and yoghurt.

Hi

My meals are mainly chicken not too keen on fish although I've tried cod I've had the odd tuna salad!! I have porridge for breakfast with half a banana and some berries mixed in using whole milk!! Chickpeas lentils etc are protein foods egg based things ive had roasted red pepper and feta and spinach quiche I'm addicted to Greek yoghurt!! Also eating lots of fruit and vegetables tonight we are on homemade chicken wraps with wholemeal tortilla wrap!!! With plenty of mixed peppers and salad but today is Saturday I'm allowing myself a treat today in form of having a small cake!!!! X

I've only had the odd tuna salad the last time I had it was over 3 weeks ago!!! Well going through this whole ivf process what u can what you can't I allow myself a treat every weekend cause I'm a chocolate and cake addict so I allow myself to have a treat it's stressful enough as it is!!!!x

Hi yes you have been given great advice, google it and certain sites give you a run down on what's good and what's not, that's what I did to make sure I was getting best advice. Defiantly up protein and lower carbs...good luck xx
