I have been getting this question all the time lately, and I wanted to take time to answer it for you all, and hopefully get you into action.

So, the question is: “How do I do Macros with Breastfeeding?”

In this episode (#020) of The 4Ms with Molly, I am going over:

  • When is a good time to start with Macros and Nursing your baby?

  • How many calories should I be eating?

  • What to set your Macro Percentages at with Nursing?

  • How to find your deficit calories without losing your supply?

  • What to do when you hit a plateau

  • How do your calories adjust when the baby starts eating off the table?

  • My favorite go-to breakfast for maintaining your supply and staying full throughout the morning.

When you are nursing a baby, whether this is your first or your third, the same principles apply. On average, a Nursing Mama needs 300-500 extra calories to maintain their supply. I am outlining on this week’s podcast exactly how to find your sweet spot to lose fat and maintain your supply while preserving your muscle. 

I am 100% dedicated to my fellow Mamas losing weight in the most sustainable way, and not being hungry all the time.

Molly
