Key things to know about Japanese Cheesecake in pregnancy

Japanese Cheesecake can be part of a pregnancy diet in moderation, with about 1 slice a reasonable guide.

A 1 slice (100g) serving of japanese cheesecake provides roughly 220 kcal, including 7 g of protein, 23 g of carbohydrates, 12 g of fat.

With about 12 g of sugar per serving, enjoy japanese cheesecake as an occasional treat rather than an everyday staple.

This type of cheesecake is lighter and less sweet than traditional versions, but still contains sugars and fats that should be limited. A small portion can be a nice treat, providing you with a bit of calcium and protein that benefits baby’s bone development.
