How much calories i should take per day while i am breat feeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Rule of thumb 1.5 times normal calorie intact. However, you need to know your basic metabolic calorie burn rate, then measure your fat weight and see if it stays stable. Buy a scale that gives you these features and you can calculate how many calories you need.
