Leederz 49 Posted September 21, 2013 The restriction really is still there' date=' I promise. Just track what you eat. And remember that breastfeeding really only means you get one extra calcium/protein rich snack a day - another 200 calories or so! Eat a good balance of foods and try to eat dense Proteins first and see if that helps. I know it's hard. Hormones make me feel like peeling paint off the walls and I can eat, eat, eat if I allow myself to do so. It doesn't matter if I know darn well I'm not really hungry. I feel like I'm starving and that sends me right back to the kitchen. Good luck, ladies! I'm enjoying my almost six month old and it's frustrating at times to feel so tired and also to not fit in my clothes exactly the way I'd like. But I wouldn't trade this little beastie for anything in the world, and if fighting a handful of pounds is the price I have to pay it's worth it! ~Cheri[/quote'] I talked to my nut who suggested 1600-1800 cal/day. I recently started tracking again which helps with my accountability and I'm getting around 1500 right now but really nutritious food. I'm starting to feel my restriction again but definitely not as much. Feels good to be back on track I feel more I'm control Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
