my baby is a vegetarian

I have morning sickness early in the morning. Im fine through out the day as long as i do NOT eat meat. Im losing weight due to only eating fruits and vegetables and im not sure if not getting any protein is harmful. i can imagine it would be but i try to eat nuts and eggs every now and then. Does any one else have this problem?

I'm having some of the same issues. I cannot go near the mitchen when meat is being cooked and everything tastes funny.

I have had issues with meat. I cannot stand the smell of it cooking and it just doesn't taste right.

Spinach is a great source of iron,  it is a myth that you can only get iron from meat :)

I've become reliant on HUMMUS.  Great source of protein, and meatless.  I'm having a similar issue.  I'm 8 weeks and I feel my little nugget is not a fan of meat.  S/he let's me maybe have a bite or two and then I either throw up or dry heave.  I've learned to avoid meat.  I've lost 8 lbs though.  Luckily, I'm a heavier girl, so 8 lbs is NOTHING, though all of my friends are noticing my thinner face and asking me how I'm doing it.  Oye!  It's the morning sickness diet!

OK, so Kashi has a protein calculator. You just enter your weight and it tells you how many grams you need per day. For example I weigh 140ish so I need 51 grams.

Can you stand peanut butter or almond butter maybe with honey as a dip for apples?
Maybe some tofu in veggie broth?
Springrolls with peanut sauce?
There is a formula based on weight for how much protein that you need per day..let me see if I can find it and post it for you...
