What did you set yours to for nursing?

    Wasn't on MFP while nursing, but I would keep my ratios at about 40 carb, 40 fat, and 20 protein, and then set the cals so that you're getting at least 90g protein (and of course making up for burning the nursing cals).

    I'm going to see a nutritionist about this on Wednesday. I'll let you know what she says. I'm pretty new to this and the Macros have me really confused.

    I agree with binknbaby. While breastfeeding you need to consume more fat than you would normally.

    I asked this question of one of the experienced MFPers a couple of days ago, I will report back when I get a response :)
