Cal. intake question

They say if you don't consume enough calories that you will begin to store fat. However, remember you are also burning calories when you are nursing. I'm no expert but I say that your calorie intake should be about 1500. Don't fret if you go in the red, you are doing a wonderful thing for your baby by nursing. Kudos for taking the time to exercise!!! I don't know how you do it! I recall feeling very drained when I nursed my children. ( Do count your daily hosehold tasks as part of exercise.)
