I think thats crazy low, too! Being only 5 weeks PP, your body is still going through major hormonal upheavals, too. If I was as active as you, I would be eating closer to 2000 cals. (I plan on being very active and breastfeeding as well, so I will be eating between 2000-2400). That way, you'll turn fat to muscle and lose weight, but not muscle mass, etc. I think you're doing great!0

Yes.... sounds way too low if you are doing Turbofire! What did you set MFP as your goal? I have about 20lbs until my goal and I have mine set to 1lb and I have 1700 cals.0
