Just posted a quote, that is cool the -25 calories as a food for breast feeding! Thanks for the tip. I'm just figuring this site out.
Newborn, 6 weeks and I've lost 26 of the 29 lbs. I gained, I'm sure a lot is due to nursing! Still have 46 lbs after that to go though.0 -
Well this is what I decided to do on here: I went to tools and found out my BMR, which is 1339 and set that as my calorie intake for each day, then I use the Food option to subtract each time I breastfeed or pump at work and it adds more calories for me to eat during the day. So I eat my 1339 calories and any that I burn when I BF or pump. Is this correct? If it doesn't work I will reevaluate in two weeks.
Her article is not confusing, I just don't know how she did in on MFP. Did she add all the calories she should eat manually into the goals area and only subtract the exercise or did she set it up differently? Anyone want to shar how they setup their account on here?0 -
I'm trying to lose the last ten and I've been wondering why it seems to not be coming off. I'm going to use the calculator and add I my calories. I have only been adding 500 calories to my fitness for nursing, but need to do more. But should it be added as afoot and ounces? That seems like a lot of work to subtract it every time they feed or adjust the amount each day. I curious to know what others suggest doing. Thanks for the great info, I didn't know there was such a calculator.0

So I have a question for everyone: as your baby gets heavier and consumes more breast milk, do you increase your breast feeding calories?? My 8 week old was 10 pounds two weeks ago and is now 11, making the amount of milk she consumes higher, according to the milk calculator. Do I change my breastfeeding calories as she get bigger??0

This honestly seems way too complicated. My midwife says to eat at least 1800 calories when nursing. So, I have been eating between 1800-200 calories a day, sometimes more, since my son was born 7 months ago. I have lost 67 pounds and I am still going strong.0
