Include lots of lean meat, poultry, fish, nuts, eggs, low-fat dairy products and lentils in your diet to get your daily protein fix. Protein is needed for the growth of the uterus, placenta and breast tissue, as well as amniotic fluid production. Aim to get at least 67g (equivalent of one chicken breast) during your pregnancy, and up that to 83g (equivalent to four cod fillets) when breastfeeding.
