Luteal phase 7 days due to breastfeeding

[Emz90]

I was 8 stone when my 1st period happened and I am 7 stone 10 now and trying not to lose anymore weight hence why I added the 1 snack. Going to that weight...could that have caused a short luteal phase? Do I need to go back to 8 stone? I was only 8 stone due to binge eating though.

around 1890 calories when being good. Protein around 72g , fat around 57g . Hard to know as I sometimes get take away lattes and u sure of calories in them and sometimes get wraps which are 460 calories and20g protein instead of a cheese sandwich. I probably am eating too much. I crave snacks between meals so always have 1 snack instead of like 6 snacks a day and don't eat after 6

If this is really what you're eating this is pretty good. You are NOT eating too much. If you're breastfeeding the limits on LE Diet are 1800-2000 cals anyway

That coupled with breastfeeding may have. There's nothing wrong with being 8 stone! that is still very petite! I would just go back to that again.

I don't track anything due to previous eating disorder. Yes I got my pregnant with my 2nd while breastfeeding. I waited to he was 18 months before trying as read that is best for our bodies to recover. Maybe I should wait until then again and maybe my cycles will have improved x

As long as you are eating enough, yes, you're right you don't need to track with history of an eating disorder. What I'm trying to protect you from, is this tendency people have to cut back more and more when they aren't tracking because they don't realize how little they're actually eating. So I just want you to be really srue you are getting enough.

Should I maybe cut the snack? Just breakfast lunch and dinner. I eat around 8am and then lunch around 1 and dinner at 5 or 6. Always get hungry around 3 and have a nut bar which is 200calories

not if you need it

I seem to be staying around 7 stone 10 with not eating so many snacks so will see how next cycle goes. Afraid to increase weight as that can sway boy.
