Nursing?

Well, they say breastfeeding you can burn up to 500 calories, however your suppose to increase your calories about 300. Im nursing twins for almost a year and let me tell you, yesh I burn 500 cals, but boy do I eat those calories up. Just make sure you keep taking your prenatal, lots of great vitamins. As far as MFP..if the app says to eat 1800..eat 2100 or perhaps more. So happy to see you nursing!

Fill out your weight loss goals and let the app calculate your calorie allowance as usual, then you can type "breastfeeding" into your food diary every day. It will give you a choice of either receiving 250 extra calories or 500 calories. If you're exclusively breastfeeding I would choose the 500 cal one. If your baby is on solids or you're supplementing a a significant amount, you should just do the 250 one because of course the less your baby is breastfeeding, the less calories your body is using to make milk.

Now that my baby is 9 months old and getting about 50% solid foods, I have mine set to just give me 250 extra calories instead of 500. It's only been a week but its working so far (dont feel overly deprived, lost a pound).
Best of luck to you!
