Are you nursing a little one and finding that you are hungry ALL-THE-TIME<\/strong>??<\/p>\n

There is reason to the madness \u2013 we\u2019ve learned that breastfeeding mamas require almost two times as much protein then non-nursing women. In fact, according to The American Pregnancy Association, pregnant and nursing mothers should aim for eating 75 to 100 grams of protein each day!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eating protein foods throughout the day helps to keep milk supply up, boosts energy without a crash (like sugar can), and it keeps us full for a while so we aren\u2019t heading back to the kitchen 20 minutes after eating.<\/p>\n

Here are some easy, high-protein snacks (both store-bought and homemade!) to keep us nourished and fueled for our busy days.<\/p>\n
