Does anyone know approximately how many calories you burn a day when your still breastfeeding?

    It's about 500 calories a day.

    Fun facts: 3 ounces (100 ml) of breastmilk contains 70 calories and has about the same fat and nutrient content as whole cow's milk. Some women produce breastmilk with a higher fat content than others.

    I never thought about the extra calories or calorie intake in breast milk. I wonder if it affects your diet or exercise routine while trying to lose weight.
