Raw Nitro Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should make nutrition a major priority. Protein requirements are high for pregnant women, but due to lack of appetite, the needs often are not met. Try blending eggs into your morning smoothy for more protein. Egg whites provide protein at 3 grams per egg without including any fat and just 15 calories. They are great way for pregnant women to get the protein they need. Make sure you are eating eggs that are safely pasteurized.
