Question for nursing moms. Please note that I am not asking this in order to loose weight but to make sure I am getting enough calories for nursing.
I struggle to get enough calories in a day for both me and Juniper. I've been using MyFitnessPal to make sure I am getting enough calories and nutrients. I'm not getting enough calcium and protein. In the past I would drink protein shakes to add more calories, protein, and calcium. I am still taking my prenatal vitamins. Does anyone have any good recommendations for good protein shakes for nursing?
I take Herbalife protein shakes. Only problem is they're a little pricy but they taste good :)
I liked Nature's Way Metabolic Reset in strawberry, Muscle Milk in chocolate, EAS 100% Whey in Vanilla, Boost, and Ensure. I think any kind that provide nutritional value without necessarily promising weight loss are good.
You can also add peanut butter to them for extra protein and calories. 😊
I'm lactose and my daughter is lactose and soy intolerant so I drink Paleo Protein egg white powder with almond milk and pbfit powder for flavor or quick protein snack
