I am on WW and was eating the EBF number of points. For the past few days I have been eating the BFing points for that of a BFing mom who is supplementing and eating solids.
So far, I haven't noticed a drop in my supply. I've been eating the lower number of points since Monday. Do you think I would have seen a drop by now? I am losing SO much faster on the lower # of points, but it isn't worth it if it will tank my supply.
I EP so I know exactly how much I pump each day.

Be careful with that. My BFF lost her supply way earlier than she would have liked for exactly this reason. You need to get a certain amount of calories for your milk to contain what your baby needs.
If I were you I'd eat the recommended BFing mom points & up the exercise.

I think this might be a case where everyone is different. I had a day a few weeks ago where I was super busy and "forgot" to eat. I literally had a breakfast smoothie and a Starbucks iced coffee and forgot to eat all day. My supply seemed to reduce for a few days afterwards.
I'm having oatmeal for breakfast most days and taking Fenugreek capsules at every meal and am back where I was, but it really felt like one day of not eating messed me up for about a week.
