Pregnant women need to ensure a variety of different nutrients during pregnancy, so the diet should be reasonably arranged and balanced, so as to intake enough nutrients, maintain the normal activities of the body, and provide them to the fetus to promote the growth and development of the fetus. If the diet is too simple, it will easily lead to unbalanced nutritional intake of pregnant women, which is not conducive to the health of pregnant women and fetuses.
The quality of protein contained in meal replacement can not meet the normal needs of human body.
