I would like to lose weight that I gained during pregnancy and am currently breastfeeding which is supposed to use like 500 calories a day or something but I am not solely breastfeeding, I do also give my baby like 3 bottles a day too so I don’t think I will be burning as much through nursing. Anyone know how many calories I should consume to lose weight steadily? Thanx
Thats a tough question really If your like me i only get to a certain weight and my milk reduces by heck of a lot! Not sure why but it does!
best thing for you is to probably eat about 1500-1800 cal’s a day cos then dont forget you burn about 300 with your feeding
1800 calories to maintain your weight, and 1600 calories to lose weight
under 1600 starts to effect your milk supply.
I have a forum on my website for women to share their experiences trying to lose weight while breastfeeding

1500-1800 calories a day according to La Leche league. (link below) Good luck.
