I’m 4 mos PP 180lbs. My goal is 140 as I am only 5ft. I am exclusively breastfeeding.. curious how many calories I should be eating per day. 1500 just doesn’t seem accurate.

  Set MFP to calculate your maintenance calories and let breastfeeding create your deficit.

  If you are exclusively breastfeeding, you can enter that into mfp daily diary and it will count it as burning 500 calories per day.

  Thanks for the info on entering breastfeeding. I wasn’t too sure how that worked. I’m 30lbs over my pre-pregnancy weight and needing some change to start happening!
