Having trouble eating enough while breastfeeding

Elissa

So I have been breastfeeding my LO for about 3 weeks now and I'm always Hungry! I'm also hypoglycemic so I have to eat protein every couple hours or I get shaky and sick. I'm struggling to eat enough and was wondering what you ladies are doing to eat?

I'm constantly eating when I can. i read your supposed to eat close to 3,000 calories while breastfeeding. I looked up how much calories in eating and I'm barley eating 2,000 calories. Not sure how to add more calories that are nutritious vs junk.

On a side note- my breasts never feel anywhere close to being full but yet my LO has already surpassed his birth weight so I think my milk production is fine. I'm just worried about myself at this point because I'm always feeling close to shaky because of my hypoglycaemia.
