Breastfeeding? How many calories are you taking in?

Roundabout?

 

My supply doesn't seem to be suffering, but I don't feel like I am eating enough during the day. For example,today I have only found enough time and energy to eat a granola bar and some coffee so far. The worst part is that the majority of my calorie intake occurs past 8pm - considering that is apparently our new dinner time.

    The first two weeks I barely found time to eat, so Im pretty sure mine was fairly low. I think there were a few days where I maybe ate a snack all day. I dropped 20 lbs in the first two weeks. After that my weight has kind of steadied (Im now 5-6 lb from my pre-pg weight) and Im only losing like a lb or so per week. Im pretty hungry & eating a lot more. Of course thanksgiving didnt really help.....

    I'm completely clueless when it comes to calorie counting, but I understand what you mean.  In the beginning its so hard to think about what you need to eat.  I was like that, I was so busy with a newborn that I never had an appetite. But the less I ate, he fussier he got, so I had to change that. I try to eat a big breakfast and dinner. My lunch is never big.  And a slice of chocolate cake with a tall glass of milk! (BFing is my excuse!) lol

    This. 

    I was considering starting WW soon but I'm not sure it's a good idea.  My mother is a lifetime member and she said she would wait until after 6 months. Right now I feel like eat all the time.
