    I would think you'd want to have good nutrition for your child's sake. Eat some peanut butter sandwiches, or ice cream. It's not that hard to get to 1800-2000; which is the minimum of where you should be if you're breastfeeding. Do not exercise on top of all this unless you can get up to much higher calories.

    It's NEVER okay to eat 1000 calories or less, as your body is not getting the necessary nutrients.

    I definitely understand and agree. But to everyone telling me this, I already realize this truth, but assuming my calculations are about right it is difficult for me. I can't really eat when I feel nauseous or full. I'll follow these tips and I'll have to talk to my doctor about this issue. Im currently trying to tone, so exercise is crucial to me for that purpose

    You added that you're breastfeeding. Oh you need way more nutrients, to keep that baby fed. Add more nutrient dense foods to your diet. Avocados, nut butters, nuts, oils, cheeses.

    I did, I realized I left out a huge component. I'll try these!

    I'm guessing you're probably eating more than you think though so it's probably why you're so full on only '1100 calories'.

    Thanks for your opinion, but I also said that my medicine has something to do with it. So it's not necessarily the food making me feel full.
