Tell me what you eat in a day???

EmmaDueInFeb · Mar 11th, 2010, 13:12 PM

Hey

I'm exclusively breastfeeding, and today I went out for a walk, and when I got back I'm feeling a bit nauceous and dizzy.....I don't think I'm eating enough, pretty much what I would pre pregnancy.

Soooo can you ladies please give me an idea of what you eat in a day to be able to function and breastfeed??

Here's what I've had today:

Breakfast: Hotcross Bun

Snack: banana & breakfast bar

Lunch: Mushroom Omelette

Snack: Hot cross Bun & 2 rich teas

Having dinner soon as well......

Is this too little ??

I eat:

Breakfast: 2 slices of yummy buttery toast

Lunch: Never really bother...
Dinner: Can be anything from a turkey sandwich to a sir fry to a full on roast. Depends.

Snacks: A chocolate bar or hot chocolate. Something chocolatey every day as I have this idea that my milk will be lovely and creamy!

Not a massive amount really. Some days I'll have lunch and more snacks but it's never less than above. Do you drink enough? I can never get enough to drink...

Breakfast - 2x toast with phili
Lunch - tuna toastie and packet of worcester sauce french fries
Tea - Chicken and sweetcorn soup and a yoghurt

Snacks - 2 x pieces of bread with phili, 1 x packet of wotsits and about 10 mini eggs

I'm a bugger for snacking but I make sure I walk about 2 miles at least a day...

I put on 3 and a half stone when preggo and thats all but gone...just need to make sure I don't eat crap when I stop bf'ing otherwise I am sure I'll put on weight!

I figure I won't get away with it when I stop feeding so make the most of it

What I eat varies, some days I just dont feel hungry others I dont stop eating.

Yesterday I had 2 slices of toast and chicken arribiata.

Not much, will see what I eat today.
