Question 1

Q: According to the ICDS, what is the recommended caloric and protein intake for a pregnant woman?

600 Kcal and 18-20 grams of protein. ***600 Kcal and 18-20 grams of protein*** - The **Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS)** guidelines recommend a daily supplementary intake of **600 Kcal** and between **18-20 grams of protein** for pregnant women. - This additional nutritional support is crucial to meet the increased metabolic demands and fetal growth during pregnancy, especially for women from vulnerable populations. *600 Kcal and 10 grams of protein* - While **600 Kcal** is the correct caloric supplement as per ICDS, **10 grams of protein** is insufficient to meet the increased protein requirements during pregnancy. - Inadequate protein intake can negatively impact fetal development and maternal health. *600 Kcal and 12 grams of protein* - The recommended caloric intake of **600 Kcal** is correct, but **12 grams of protein** falls short of the ICDS guidelines for pregnant women. - The additional protein is vital for tissue synthesis, blood volume expansion, and the development of the fetus. *600 Kcal and 15 grams of protein* - Although **600 Kcal** aligns with the ICDS recommendation for energy, **15 grams of protein** is still below the specified range. - The guidelines emphasize a higher protein intake to support optimal pregnancy outcomes.
