This is a good plan meals for after the baby is born when you are trying to work off the weight gain that is put on during pregnancy?

Hi Amber, Yes this is a good plan for breastfeeding women to keep their energy levels, but also to return to pre-pregnancy weight. Every woman is different (like every baby) and the pattern of weight loss after giving birth varies from person to person. If you do not breastfeed your baby, you'll need a little less food every day because you do not have the energy to breast milk results. Getting back to exercise can also help burn some calories but remember you have a little baby needs your attention so as not to put too much pressure on yourself to lose weight quickly. Aim for no more than 0.5kg of body weight per week. If you follow the meal plan like this and not lose weight may help to reduce snacks between meals or follow the eating plan to lose weight after pregnancy (http://www.forbaby.co.nz/Starting-Out / Nursing / pregnancy-weight-loss-slow-and-steady-is-best)
