If you decide to nurse, then at that time explain to the LAWL person that you want to be on a plan that is approximately 500 calories more than what you normally would be on.
Nursing burns approximately 500 calories a day, and you need that to actually make and maintain your milk supply-so if you were on a plan that averages around 2000 calories a day, then it would be equivalent to you being on a plan that is approximately 1500 calories a day, due to the nursing.
