Im breastfeeding and ive been feeling really tired recently, ive been eating healthily and what I thought was ok but ive just added up my calories out of interest and its no where near what it should be even though im eating 3meals a day plus other stuff
I believe 2500 calories is what u should have in a day?
Today ive only had about 1400 calories so that falls alot short of the 2500 but i feel like ive eaten loads.... obviously the day isnt over will eat a bit more but its still very low. Im not dieting and eating the amount that I would normally eat although I do eat quite healthily so that prob part of the reason why but surely its better to eat healthy and be full than eat loads of crap to up my calories when im not even hungry?! I have IBS so thats the reason I try to eat healthy otherwise I end up with agonising stomach ache.
Im sure Ellie is getting everything she needs as is gaining weight well etc but wondering could it be the reason why i feel so tired? If anyone can advise that would be great...
