How many calories while BFing?

I'm starting to go back to the gym while BFing. I'm worried about not eating enough calories to sustain my milk supply and lose weight. How do I know how many to eat? I'm finding a lot of differing opinions out there.

    I always ate to hunger, lost lots of weight but managed to have an almost oversupply. I think how much you breastfeed or pump has more to do with you r supply than your diet and exercise. I started running at 5 weeks postpartum...no issues.

    I just eat when I'm hungry. For me, that ends up being three meals and 2-3 snacks. And remember to drink tons of water.
