    Put all of that into MFP and set a realistic goal. Voila! Instant food net goal!

    Breastfeeding is irrelevant if you do not plan to do it exclusively (I mean regarding weight loss goals, not in general). Get your numbers in MFP, and it will do the math for you. My guess would be something around 1500 - 1600 ish ? But just a guess.

    You need to calculate your BMR (basal metabolic rate.) You can eat 1,800-1,900 calories a day for maintaining your current weight. This is just an estimate though. You may have to make some adjustments.
