    I'm scared of my supply suffering from increased exercise and dieting and just wanting advice on where to start and what calorie intake to aim for.

    Unfortunately, there is no cut and dry answer. You have to experiment with what works for you and for some women the weight doesn't come off until the baby is weaned. Usually, most women add 300-500 extra calories a day for exclusive bfing.

    Plug in your numbers, add 300-500 calories and go from there reducing as to not affect your supply.
