: Hi Cathy,

: Great that you are keeping up with
: breakfast!

: Since you are breastfeeding, are you
: including planned snacks? That is
: one way to get more food in during
: the day, without adding to your
: meal time.

: It is hard to know if you are getting
: enough protein unless we know how
: much you weigh. And again,
: including a protein / carb snack
: will help you get in that extra
: food since you are nursing.

Hi
Colette
i weigh 77kg and i am having between 30 to 40g of protein per meal. I also try for 10g per snack. Before bed i have a shake with around 15g, and some times during the night i have a shake as well with 15g.

I know i'm meant to have planned snacks, but that hasn't been happening. Before bed i have one and some nights i wake up and can't get back to sleep i have ashake. I struggle abit with stopping for a morning snack and afternoon snack.
I was lying in bed last night and a thought came to me i need to put some effort into having food ready to go.

So i thought i would spend a day organising some food for the week.
