What I ate today as a breastfeeding mom.

🥣 Breakfast: Fried eggs on toast & berry & iced coffee.

🥣 Lunch: Half a chopped cheese & fries (forgot to take a picture of my plate)

🥣 Dinner: Beef nachos.

... Read moreMaintaining a balanced and nutritious diet while breastfeeding is essential for both mother and baby. Breastfeeding moms require additional calories and nutrients to support milk production and maintain their own energy levels. Including protein-rich foods like fried eggs and beef helps in repairing tissues and providing essential amino acids. Berries add a boost of antioxidants and vitamins, promoting overall health and aiding the immune system. Lunch and dinner options such as a chopped cheese sandwich and beef nachos offer a combination of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats to keep energy stable throughout the day. Though fries may be considered indulgent, they can be balanced with fresh vegetables or fruit to increase fiber intake. Hydration is equally important; enjoying iced coffee can be part of your routine, but it's best to moderate caffeine intake during breastfeeding. Many breastfeeding moms find that small, frequent meals help maintain energy and prevent blood sugar dips, which can affect milk supply and mood. Incorporating a variety of food groups including whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables can support both mother and baby's nutritional needs. Remember to listen to your body’s hunger cues and consult with a healthcare provider or a lactation nutritionist if you have any specific dietary questions or concerns. Sharing meal ideas like these can inspire others in the breastfeeding community to find tasty and wholesome options for their own feeding journeys.

Realistic What I Ate Today as a Mom of 3
Here’s a very realistic “What I Ate Today”. I like to eat intuitively, so I’m not tracking my calories or macros even though I have a rough estimate of how much I’m consuming in a day. I DID track my calories and macros in the past, which is why I now have a rough estimate regarding how much I’

Just a disclaimer, this is based on my own fitness, weight, and goals, this is not me recommending a specific calorie intake for you. I recommend if you do want to track your calories do some research on how many calories a day would suit you best for your specific diet needs. 🩷 #eatingatwork
