You take one serving (of anything that gives you energy) every hour of racing and that is the rule of thumb. Alternatively if you are not a fan of gel or bars (like me, i am also not a fan), you can always stop and eat. Just don't sit down too long and picnic ;-)<br /><br />Contarary to popular belief, a BF mum don't need higher kcal. :) Well at least not significantly higher. While I can't say I am qualified to give advice on this (as i never need to breastfeed, ever), my logic and knowledge says that unless you are already underweight, you might need to do (eat) so. But if you are within your healthy weight, you don't need it. More so if you eat healthily.<br /><br />Do not make the mistakes all BF mother does by reducing (significantly) their food intake and stop lactation. My advice? Eat normally (up between 1800kcal to 2000kcal) and a bit more if you are active (aka exercise).<br /><br />Just don't use BF as a tool to eat ;-)TriStupehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09069498171367072560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7058941.post-53876505755221305372013-03-03T22:40:54.408+08:002013-03-03T22:40:54.408+08:00Hi Tristupe!
