If you’re a breastfeeding mama and would like to figure out how many calories to consume in order to safely lose weight, there are a lot of things to factor in.

You need to take your personal body type, age, and the fact that breastfeeding burns calories (approximately 670 calories per day) into consideration.

Good news!  There’s a free breastfeeding calorie calculator you can use!

Simply put in your age, current weight, height, and exercise levels and it’ll calculate how many calories per day you can consume in order to safely and gradually lose weight while breastfeeding. (while factoring in an additional 500 calories per day)

Disclaimer:  Please consult with your healthcare provider before you begin any calorie restriction or diet program.
