while breast feeding and how many calories should I allow myself to get in a day?
Thanks

I'm currently breastfeeding my 11 month old and am trying to lost some more weight. Already at a healthy weight, but not feeling my best! The cool thing about myfitnesspal is that under your "food log" you can seach "breastfeeding" in the search box. For example: I'm supposed to eat 1200 calories/day. When I add "breastfeeding: 3-5 times/day" to my food log it gives me an additional 400 calories for the day! so, i end up eating about 1600 calories/day to make up for what i burn off from bf'ing!0

I have been breastfeeding for 5 1/2 months and have lost 70 pounds since birth. I just make sure to eat nutritious food. She is in the 75 percentile and is quite the healthy chunk! I think you just need to find what works for you as far as how many calories to eat!0
