Hi, You do not need any protein powder while breastfeeding. You only need an additional 10.6-13.6 g protein per day (usual requirement is 0.8-1g/kg body weight). You can easily meet the protein requirements with food. 1. Eggs: • 1 large egg provides about 6-7 g of protein. Having two eggs per day can fulfill almost the entire additional protein requirement (12-14 g). 2. Milk and Dairy Products: • 1 glass of milk (250 ml) provides around 8 g of protein. • Adding paneer (100 g of paneer provides approximately 18-20 g of protein) or curd (1 cup of curd provides about 8-10 g of protein) can further boost protein intake. 3. Dals (Lentils): • 1 cup of cooked dal (like toor, moong, masoor) provides about 7-9 g of protein. Including a serving of dal at both lunch and dinner can easily contribute 14-18 g of protein. 4. Sprouts: • 1 cup of sprouted moong or chana contains around 7-8 g of protein. This can be a great snack or added to meals. 5. Nuts and Seeds: • A handful of almonds (about 23 nuts, 28 g) provides around 6 g of protein. • Flaxseeds, chia seeds, or pumpkin seeds can also be included, providing an additional 2-3 g of protein per tablespoon. Use only 1-2 tsp a day. 6. Whole Grains: • Whole grains like quinoa, millet (ragi, bajra), and brown rice contain moderate amounts of protein. One cup of cooked quinoa, for example, provides about 8 g of protein. Also include foods that support lactation. Use easy to digest pulses.
