No, that's a good amount for a newborn. 2 year olds need about 1200 calories a day.

Nothing is better than B&J's a Phish Food.

Eat the calories gained from pumping. You need that nutrition in order to keep your supply up and to ensure that your milk is nutritionally adequate. You can eat a calorie deficit if you want, adjust that as needed if you see it affecting your supply. I pump about 60oz a day and absolutely have to eat back those calories.…

I had all four pulled at once. I developed a hematoma on the inside of my left jaw muscle and could only eat puréed food for about a week.

Sugar isn't a big deal. As long as you are meeting your calorie goal you don't need to cut sugar, especially if it is coming from natural sources like fruit, vegetables, and milk. Besides, carbs and starches break down into glucose just like table sugar, and it all has pretty much the same effect on your body. Unless you…

As with anything, make sure it fits into your calories and you'll be fine.

I have always hated running, so I don't do it. I find other ways of getting in some cardio. I mountain bike, do exercise videos, and walk my very hilly road.

Your body needs to consume dietary fat in order to burn body fat.

Fat stores a lot of things, including hormones and chemicals. As you burn fat whatever was being stored in your fat gets released. This can cause hormonal fluctuations, which can be exacerbated if you use or have used products that contain estrogen mimicking chemicals like parabens.

Have some chocolate.

As long as I feel the food is "worth it" I eat some. If I think the food isn't worth the calories, I don't. Things like this are going to come up, you don't have to avoid them or overly restrict yourself. Occasional indulgences are fine.

Just eat! One meal won't kill you. You won't ruin your hard work, you won't gain. You'll just enjoy a meal.

Uh, seriously?

I make mine with chicken, green chile, some pepper jack, and cheddar, with some green enchilada sauce on top.

Sonic probably feels the same way about you.

I didn't know you were supposed to.

Two words: nap time.

You should probably see a doctor.

I guess I wasn't as clear as I intended to be. Exercising is fine, but trying to lose weight is not. You are at a healthy enough weight that trying to lose is potentially harmful to both you and your baby. Get some exercise, eat healthy foods, and you shouldn't gain too much weight.

I'm saying she shouldn't focus on losing weight during pregnancy because it isn't health for her or her baby.
-
No. Absolutely not. Calorie restriction during pregnancy is dangerous. You will rob both your baby and yourself of vital nutrients. Trying to lose weight during pregnancy will likely result in a low birth weight baby with the possibility of other problems, preterm labor, and other problems for both of you. If you want to…

Meat and eggs are high in protein and low in calories.

I used to have the same problem. It wasn't until after I broke the addiction that I realized the emotional connection. (When I was a toddler I visited my dad and his family. According to my mom, they fed me a ton of sugar for the week I was there. Things were ****ty with my mom, and I was always attracted to sweets and…

This. Rest and heal.

I'm exclusively pumping because my baby has a posterior tongue tie and I didn't want to get it clipped. I had to pump with my last baby as well, who had an overly strong tongue thrust reflex. I developed an over supply quickly last time from pumping every two hours. Eventually I was up to 60oz. This time it only took me a…

I'm pumping 60oz a day and I have found that my milk production is directly affected by how much I eat and drink. My baby is only 6 weeks old, so I haven't had a chance to start exercising much yet. All I can suggest is that you try it and see what happens. Make sure you eat to compensate for the calories you burn and…

For humans, eating is often a social experience. It has been throughout our evolution. Eating alone while surrounded by strangers is an awkward, unsettling experience, there is nothing wrong with feeling uncomfortable about it. That said, if you really want a specific food and have to go to restaurant to get it, being…

I didn't realize tofu had a flavor.

If your fruits and vegetables are squishy or gummy, your cooking them wrong.

This. Just give it time to work.
