    Yes, you need to keep your calories up during breastfeeding. I am currently breastfeeding and I make sure to eat those calories to keep my supply and my milk as full of nutrients as possible. Not eating enough calories can compromise your milk. Having done this I have lost 18 pounds since mid January! Good luck
