Today's Challenge: Eat More Calories
I know this seems counter-productive to my goal of losing weight, but at this point the weight is not coming off. As I search for an explanation and help, adding calories seems to be the logical explanation to my struggle.
If I start with a base daily calorie intake of 1200, I need to add about 500 calories because I breastfeed the baby. Then, because my workouts are pretty intense, I need to add another 300-500 calories. That means I should be aiming for 2000-2200 calories a day.
It is very possible that my body is in survival mode and storing fat because I am not eating nearly that much. The real struggle will be eating enough healthy food to meet this goal. Guess I should get some chicken breasts ready!
