I am nursing a 6 1/2 month old. Weight is listed, height is 5'2".
I average 2000-2200 calories a day. I eat as many fruit and veg carbs as I want, but I wind up only eating "bread" or "starch", as commonly understood, once a day, max. I am eating for my thyroid, which means no cruciferous veggies uncooked, lots of beef, turkey, eggs, and for veg I am focusing on chard, spinach, asparagus, mushrooms. I snack on pumpkin and sunflower seeds and brazil nuts and walnuts. I have lost about 1.5-2 pounds a week since starting this. Previously, I was eating about 1800-2000 calories a day and would lose 1/2 pound a month if I was lucky.
I am also eating tons of fat, I should mention. Healthy fat, and lots of water, and my daughter is sleek and sassy while still exclusively breastfed, if I may say so myself. She's eaten about 3 peas and a spoonfull of applesauce, all that chunk is my doing.
