JenLeeWhipp Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Hey - I'm also a breastfeeding mama - my son is 6 months old so he nurses a lot still. I'm on my second whole30 and I'm definitely not an expert, but since I'm nursing my rule to myself was not to let myself get hungry since I'm still supplying my son with food too. My only advice would be to try to add more fat in there and to just eat if you're hungry. Here is an example day for me: Breakfast: 2 or 3 eggs with 1 1/2 to 2 cups of sautéed veggies and 1/3 to 1/2 avocado snack: rx bar or fruit with nut butter or guacamole with jicama, veggies or plantain chips Lunch: 1 can tuna with homemade mayo over a salad Dinner: chicken with lots of cooked veggies snack: apple with almond butter I also should note that I'm pretty active, working out 5-6 days per week and training for a half marathon in October. Hang in there! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
