    When I was nursing I found carbs help my milk supply.
    My doctor told me to eat peanut butter everyday while I was nursing because of the protein and fat ratio.

    I feel like macros that they calculate are pretty decent for a breastfeeding diet. But I would lean toward more carbs.
    I need protein in the mornings to hold me over, so I'll have an egg but with some cheese and wrapped in a tortilla. I usually also have a banana. My milk supply head been steady on the macros. I also add breastfeeding as an exercise to help compensate for calories too.
