Pre-natal class - Nutrition
Attended our first ante-natal class on "Nutrition for Mums-to-be at Mt Alvernia". My main takeaway is - I have been eating too much! Explains why I have put on 14kg since and Emma is weighing 1.6kg when most books says she should be about 1.3kg now. It doesn't help with a number of farewell lunches, catching up with old friends and hi tea buffet with family over the past 2 weeks.
The table below is given by the speaker as a guide to how much to eat. One serving of bread, rice or cereal means 2 slices of bread, 1/2 bowl rice and 3/4 bowl cereal or 3 medium crackers. One serving of protein means a palm size. One serving of dairy meains 1 cup of milk or yogurt. One serving of veg is about 1/2 cup of leafy veg or 3/4 cup of non-leafy veg. Will see if I can follow the guide in the next 2 months.
