Doctor of Philosophy. Despite what the name might suggest, this isn't a degree for philosophers exclusively. A Ph.D is the doctorate-level degree granted in a variety of different disciplines.
The US Department of Agriculture recommends that all men and women over the age of 19 should get at least 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day (or 0.37 grams per pound). That means a woman who is 130 pounds should get at least 48 grams of protein, which could look like 7 ounces of salmon or 7 eggs. However, thatâs the bare minimum requirement. Depending on your daily activities, you still may not be getting enough.
The expert view. Public Health England told us that protein shakes are not advised in pregnancy, primarily because of the fact that in the UK, average protein intakes are already well above recommended limits. The average amount of protein recommended each day for pregnant women is 51g, whereas, on average, women actually consume 65g each day. Eating protein as part of a meal means that other nutrient needs are also met, explains nutritionist Dr Rana Conway.
