How do you consume 1800 cals/day?

Question

How do you breastfeeding mamas manage to consume your approximate 1800 calories a day? I know I'm not hitting that goal, or anywhere close to it. I'm maybe consuming my pre-baby 1200 cals. I have breakfast (usually eggs or oatmeal) and dinner, the rest of the day is just whatever snacks I can manage to grab (nuts, dried fruit, yogurt).

Answer

I don't even eat close to that unless we go out to eat or get take out lol but that being said... on days when we get fast food like taco bell I eat a lot. (I know it's not the healthiest lol but damn is it good 😂) I'll eat a quasedilla which is like 500 calories, nachos which are probably a few hundred, and a gordita crunch which I'd bet is about 500 calories.. plus whatever else I eat during the day. And I don't gain any weight. If I had ate like that before I'd probably be up 2 pounds over night 😂😂
Breast feeding is awesome lol

Answer

1800 isn't enough either... you need about 500 extra the first month. 500 if you want to maintain, 300 if you want to lose, in the following months. How are you not hungry literally all the time? Are you sure you're not miscounting? Which is actually really common.
