Hello everyone.

I am pregnant and my doctor told me at my OB visit that I need to really watch very carefully as I am at high risk for gestational diabetes due to family history and being overweight (25 lbs). I put on excess weight due to bad lifestyle (sleeping with full stomach) rather than high food intake.

She asked me to start eating eggs and white meat at least for the duration of the pregnancy and try not to gain excessive weight during the pregnancy.

I would like to know what vegetarian protein sources are available which contain very minimal carbs or fat ?

I eat the following already:

- Cottage cheese
- Just began protein powder
- Dairy (yogurt, milk, cheese)
- legumes (sometimes sprouted)


thanks,
mommytobe.
