Does Being A Nursing Mother Affect My Macros? - Jessie Fitness

Does being a nursing mother affect my macros?

Nursing DOES change the calculation just a bit - Im glad you asked! For nursing parents, I suggest adding 300-500 calories in carbs and/or fats to your calculated macros. Add the number of calories you are comfortable starting with and then increase or decrease based on your milk supply. If you start to notice your milk supply drop, you may need to add more calories. Pay attention to the signs your body gives you - you will know the right thing to do!
