  Will drinking Slimfast help you get nutrients while pregnant?

  Pregnancy is a wonderful time to give yourself a plentiful supply of nutrients. You need about 300 extra calories a day to support a healthy pregnancy. Those extra calories need to provide healthy nutrients and not just empty calories.

Slim-Fast is a good choice for extra calories because they are fortified with vitamins and minerals, and most Slim-Fast products have a nice source of protein. However, you want to include them in your diet as a nutritional supplement or addition to your typical diet and not as a replacement for calorie restriction or control.
