I’m not quite ready to hit the month two plan since I am still breastfeeding and most books recommend multiplying your current weight by 13 (low activity and difficulty losing weight) 15 (moderate) or 17 (active with no weight loss difficulty)  and adding 500 to get your total calorie amount.  Which puts me at 2,749 calories for low activity, 3,095 for moderate and 3,441 for high.  Oddly the same books think you shouldn’t expect to get back into your pants until several weeks post partum – I’m sitting at two months this Friday and I still am not back in my pants.

So here is what the month 2, day 1 plan consists of

Breakfast:

1 cp whole grain flakes with 1 cp skim milk and 1/2 cp blueberries

1 egg scrambled with 2 egg whites

Coffee (eww!)

Snack:

1 whole grain cereal or nutrition bar (under 200 cals)

Lunch:

1 French dip lean Roast Bees sandwich on whole grain

1/2 cp cole slaw

1 cp salad with 2 tbs low fat dressing

snack:

1 cp low fat chocolate milk

Dinner:

4 oz steamed salmon

1 cp steamed carrots

1 cp cooked bulgur wheat with 1 tsp olive oil and 1 tbsp fresh parsley
