Thanks Doctor. Can you suggest a diet chart for break fast, lunch and dinner. She is finding it difficult to understand on what food to take during pregency.
Brief Answer:
Dietary advice given
Detailed Answer:
No need to follow any diet chart and she can take anything she likes to eat but a small portion at one time.
Restrictions and strict diet schedule will make her disinterested in the long run after 2-3 weeks which is not good.
Ask her to have good amount of pulses, paneer and curd.
Salads and fresh fruits will be very good.
Ample amount of water and milk daily.
In case she eats non veg then egg, chicken and meat are very good.
All the best.
