I’m 5’6″ and weight 145 lbs. I am breastfeeding my one month old baby and I want to lose about 15-20 lbs. I don’t workout. So how many calories should consume a day if i want to lose weight safely.
Ok the rule is….when breastfeeding add 500 calories a day. With that said, what weight loss program are you trying? How many calories does is recommend? Many doctors would tell you to take a 500 calorie defecit for weight loss. So, that takes us back to the normal calorie intake of 2,000 calories, for a breastfeeding woman who wishes to lose weight.
