    So how exactly do you burn 300 calories in 9 minutes through nursing?


    That is my daily calorie burn for the day depending on how many oz I make per day you can burn up to 500 calories max I nurse 8 - 10 times a day minimum 300, so I enter the min.

    No, don't listen to what everyone else is saying. Just nurse for an additional 10 minutes to burn an apparent additional 300 calories. That should do the trick.

    I imagine she entered the wrong number of minutes... as MFP doesn't have breastfeeding under exercise, she would have had to create her own entry.

    Let me google that for you

    You're an absolute fool if you think 9 minutes of nursing will burn THREE HUNDRED calories.

    Unfortunately I can't Google common sense for you.

    I guess it was too much to expect copying and pasting. She logs that burn daily (and the numbers are consistent with a day's worth of breastfeeding) so the minute amount is arbitrary.


    This is my daily burn daily I nurse full time I enter the MINIMUM you can burn daily nursing. I have LOADS OF COMMON SENSE thank you.... =)

    You need to be eating more then. 1200 is not enough calories for you, especially breastfeeding.

    I agree with the easing up on the meal replacement shakes as I notice you have one with a meal or with a snack you could be defying the purpose of them. If its protein you want, try a protien powder (25 grams of protien with 140 calories) in a glass of lowfat or fat free milk. Otherwise, looking good new mommy. Good luck!

    how long has it been since a loss?
    what exercise do you do, have you had any "days off" and ate something different? what are you stats, height weight ?
    I looked at your diary, it looks good, but I think that mfp over estimates exercise calories, so when I went to tdee method -20% I started losing again:)
    Louise

    Tdee method is good advise... And a great place to start your research.

    MFP definitely overestimates exercise calories.

    What I would suggest you do is eat at least 100 more calories a day then what your eating now and see if that don't jump start your weight loss again.

    Take a look at your exercise, I see a number of days with over 750+ exercise calories. That seems like an awful lot, I burn ~550 in during most of the month 1 Insanity videos and I'm a 5'10" 200lb man. Don't count daily activities like cleaning, work or casual walking around the home or office as exercise, just your actual workouts.

    I guess it was too much to expect you to research reputable studies to defend your point. Maybe there's something else you can link under the fashion section of The New York Times?

    What is your point? That she should be reporting actual minutes breastfeeding everyday, or that if the above person can't site a reputable study that supports that breastfeeding burns calories, then obviously breastfeeding doesn't contribute to calorie burn. Why not just drop it?

    I questioned your diary on the board 'General Diet and Weight Loss Help' after you purposely opened your diary for comments. Obviously something isn't accurate considering you've only lost 10 pounds and not budging.

    If there's no concrete evidence it burns significant calories, it shouldn't be counted. That's my point.

    Started diet exercising: May 20th, 2013 approx 2 months and a couple days


    Mon-Fri 10 am : 150 squats
    12 pm: Walking 30 mins briskly
    3:00 pm: 50 squats

    I'm really confused. You lost 10 lbs in two months and some days...how long has it been since you stopped seeing a loss? How much are you trying to lose per week?

    But she needs more in NUTRITION for the baby. Breastfeeding women need ~ 500 extra calories for this.

    Ahh I see, I missed the part about breast feeding. I'll say up front that I'm not sure that I'm qualified to say it but I don't think that I'd count breast feeding as a caloric burn from exercise; I stand all day from the time I get to work until the time I get home and I don't count that as exercise, it's part of my lifestyle even though it does burn calories as does breathing and watching TV, but I do count the 38-60 minutes that I work out doing Insanity or one of my other programs. Just my 2 cents.

    BTW congratulations on your choice to breast feed, I wish more would do the same :-)

    There are tons of, "CONCRETE" evidence breastfeeding burns calories. I nurse more than 9 mins a day. That is just the way mfp let me enter that particular calorie burn. Sorry it offended you so much as to how many mins I nurse lol. I do burn 300 calories daily seeing I make about 30 oz a day for my newborn. Also seeing that this is coming from a young MAN not WOMAN/MOTHER such as yourself I'll leave it at that.

    Breastfeeding calorie calculator.

    http://www.freedieting.com/tools/breastfeeding_calorie_calculator.htm

    If you put in your stats and choose exercise 5x per week, you get 2335 calories. Take 20% off of that for weight loss. 1868 calories a day.

    Measure/weigh your food accurately.
