What do you eat in a day while BFing?

Question

I've been so busy learning to be a mom that my diet has SERIOUSLY taken a hit. I essentially live off of bagels and pepperidge farm cookies. 
I need some inspiration from fellow mamas!
What did you have today?

Answer

Oatmeal is so easy, fast, and healthy. I do bagels for snacks. EGGS! I try to find ways to eat eggs in anything! Hardboiled in salad, scrambled into soup or sauces, fried on a sandwich. Also, anything with lots of iron I try to sneak in so spinach (hello spinach quiche that I made ahead of time) and broccoli (add to mac and cheese, you can boil it with the pasta). PB and J is a fast source of protein, or I will dip celery sticks in the peanut butter jar for a fast snack. We also eat a lot of soup these days because I can cook it while watching LO. I just chop things up and add them to a simmering pot on the stove whenever I can, or put cans of beans and tomatoes in a crock pot with a packet of chili seasoning, and by the end of the day I will have food! We make our broth soups stretch by pouring them over ramen noodles to make a noodle soup.

Answer

I eat a lot of sandwiches because they are quick and easy to make. Usually oatmeal for breakfast.

Answer

Grapes, banana, larabar, smoked salmon and goat cheese, bowl of veg chili... what I ate yesterday. Oh, and I've had a glass of wine a few times since giving birth. I had a weak cup of coffee this morning after a 5 hour clusterfeed 😕 It's hard to find time to eat stuff that isn't finger food.

Answer

I swear I live off of eggs right now lol I have eggs at least once a day and nature valley granola bars. Those have been my staples lately and then tons of water and Powerade I am ebf twins so I am burning about 1000 cal a day on breastfeeding! I swear I’m always hungry

Answer

Breakfast: A Quaker oatmeal square and Greek yogurt or a premixed smoothie
Lunch: Turkey and cheese sandwich
Dinner: usually baked chicken or fish with a fresh or frozen veggie and maybe a starch like rice or stuffing, sometimes an easier meal like mac n cheese or a freezer meal (PF Chang’s are pretty tasty). 
Snacks: decaf chai latte, roasted chickpeas, ice cream, cheese and crackers
LO is 12 days old and my husband hasn’t gone back to work yet, so I’m not sure what my eating will look like when he does!

Answer

I feel like a breastfeeding slacker. My breakfast is usually a bowl of cereal 😭
Today it I was carnation breakfast while she had her breakfast haha. I was starving and couldn’t wait til she was done to eat. We both ate together in bed 👌🏼
I eat good dinners for the most part at least. Tonight was stuffed portabellas with a side of okra. 
My breakfast just sucks lol.
Lunch is so so. Sandwiches or leftovers.

Answer

Breakfast burrito with eggs, bacon, spinach, tomato, potatoes, salsa. Veggie hummus and carrots. A cliff bar. Banana cut in half with peanut butter inside. Some chive crackers. 
I had a shitty dinner though because we were out and rushing around.
