A member asked:
Im a vegetarian and 7weeks pregnant. i would like to continue running. do i need to increase my protein intake and how?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Running is ok: to the level you are accustomed. Protein increase could be helpful to maintain your own muscle mass. The pregnancy only requires 300 calories per day over what you require to maintain your weight.
