What about breastfeeding?

How does that play into the calculations? Or does it?

    You need to add your breastfeeding cals on top of your TDEE. I eat my 15% cut plus 300 calories for nursing an almost 9 month old who is on 3 solid meals a day.

    If your baby isn't on solids you should be eating at least 500 extra cals a day, in case you didn't know that (just thought I would mention it).
