Hey I am new to iifym and breastfeeding (new to that too! Going on 4 months) looking for friends & other mommas out there doing this while breastfeeding. I still haven't quite figured out how to consider the cals burned feeding/pumping and how that changes the macros (if it does?)

    Hey. I have the same situation.
    4 months breastfeeding and started IIFYM last week.
    Dont know if i should just add 500 calories or just make sure i consume good carbs like rice, oatmeal, sweet potatoes and tuns of veggies.

    i asked in the iifym facebook group and they said 300 if you don't bf exclusively and 500 if that's all the nutrition the baby receives :) hope this helps
