Why a pregnant female needs more protein than the other groups of people?
That is very true. The reason is very simple. You have the foetus, that grows in the womb of the mother. From second trimester the foetus has got his own need of proteins to grow. You have to add proteins to meet that need. Normally one gram per kg proteins are advised in the diet. You should give say 1.5 to 2 grams proteins per kg in the diet of the mother. The foetus is very small in the first trimester of the pregnancy. She may not take or may not like to take normal food in the first trimester. Fortunately the things get well from the second trimester onwards.
