Breastfeeding Menu

(I needed a picture and I found the neighborhood rabbit Bob!)

Here is another menu for you breastfeeders!

BREAKFAST

Bean and Cheese burrito with a whole wheat tortilla

(3 tbsp beans and a good handful of cheese)

1 cup of cold 1% milk

1 piece of fruit or half a grapefruit

SNACK

3 cups of popcorn with blackpepper (YUM)

1 cup of low fat yogurt

LUNCH

Ham sandwich on wheat bread

(4 slices ham with any toppings)

1 cup of salad

(1 teaspoon dressing)

2 cups of watermelon

1 cup of juice or iced/hot decaf tea (no green tea)

SNACK

1 hard cooked egg

1 banana with peanutbutter

DINNER

Palm sized portion of salmon

(baked with salt, pepper, paprika, and lemon juice)

1 cup of brown/white rice

1 1/2 cup mixed veggies

(or your favorite veggies)

Bread with light butter

SNACK

1 cup of yogurt with added fruit

or

chocolate cake

(any kind its dessert you deserve a treat)

That is my plan for one day of meals for breastfeeding.

We need this daily:

3 cups of dairy

6oz of meat/beans

8 oz grains

2 cups of fruit

3 cups veggies

6 teaspoons of oil (butter, olive oil, mayo, etc.)

So while I will be posting menu's with the daily requirements above you can make your own menu's as well.

Remember 13 8oz cups of water at the minimum.

You deserve a treat AFTER dinner.

You can always eat more fruit, vegetable, or dairy when hungry.

ENJOY!!!
