Hey Shikha. No you don't have to eat for two. Your body needs only 2000 to 2200 calories for breastfeeding a single baby. Get a balance of all nutrients. Increase your protein intake rather than carbs. You don't have to pile up on fats as well. Have 6 small meals. Include eggs, dry fruits, milk, green leafy veggies and fruits in your daily diet. It will give you a healthy dose of all the nutrients. Eg of for a day would be this: 8am 1 glass of Milk with some protein powder and a handful of dry fruits. 10 am 2 egg omelette made with some ghee. 12 pm ragi porridge with buttermilk/ 1 fruit /1 bowl of soup. 2pm lunch. here also control your portion size. 4pm any snack you feel like having (it's all right to have junk food once in a while if you are craving for it. but it's better to have it homemade rather than from outside. you would have a healthier diet that way since you wouldnt feel like you are depriving yourself and then end up stuffing yourself and then feel guilty)<br> 6 pm if you feel hungry you can have another fruit or a small glass of milk. otherwise have an early dinner around 7 or so. Have whatever you had for lunch. Before you sleep you can have a glass of milk again. <br> Also include 30 minute walks in the day twice and bf as much as you can. Will help you lose any post pregnancy weight as well. Hope this helps :-) You can check out my breakfast options from my profile as well as <span style="color:#3B5998;"><b> @63729b593f31520016a69b80 </b></span> mentioned. :-) Tc and have fun.
