"I'm pregnant — I need to eat for two!"
I've heard this from almost every expectant mom who walks into my office.

Here's the truth: You're eating for you + a tiny human. Not you + another adult.
Let me break this down for Kenyan moms, because our food culture makes this especially tricky.

Good morning, Do you know the benefits of eggs this morning?
A standard large egg contains around 74 calories, 6 grams of protein, 5 grams of fat and less than 1 gram of carbs, according to the USDA Food Data Central. Eggs are a good source of vitamin A, biotin (vitamin b7) and antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, One of the most beneficial micronutrients found in eggs is choline; it’s especially important during pregnancy, as it’s a nutrient that’s key for fetal development.
So don't forget to add that egg into your menu.
