Gail's Here! Expectant Mom's Special Nutritional Needs
Your body needs higher than normal levels of protein, calcium, fiber, and certain beneficial fats. These changes to your regular diet can be difficult to make and maintain. I specialize in crafting menus to your special needs, so let me do the work for you!
Gail’s Here!
- Prepares only low level pollutant fish and seafood like Flounder, Sole, Shrimp, Scallops, Cod, Halibut, and wild Salmon.
- Portions all meat and seafood entrees at 6 ozs. per person, supplying 1/2 to 3/4 of the daily pregnancy requirements for protein.
- Includes foods rich in Omega Fatty Acids during the second half of pregnancy to aid in healthy fetal nervous system and brain development.
- Makes specialty items just for Mom: Walnut Brownies, Soy Wheat Bread, Bran Muffins, Granola, and Salad Dressings all to support Fiber and Omega Fatty Acid levels.
Your family will love the quality and variety, and you will have more time and energy to spend with them.
