My BMR is 1,508 if that means anything

Ok how about for me? 5'4" 176lbs, 30 year old F....1,200 allowance + 500 for exclusively breastfeeding? I am currently not working out as I had surgery and am waiting for the all clear from my Dr.

I am having a c-section Friday Jan 13th (lol) and since I had one before, I know the recovery is a slow one. I am just starting out by journaling what I eat for now and the extra calories for…

I am in the same boat, but cannot figure out how to add breastfeeding to my diary. I am new to the site, can anyone show me plz?
