Postpartum Calorie Needs Calculator — सूत्र
## Postpartum Calorie Needs
This uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation (female version) plus nursing calories.
### Formula
**BMR = 10 x Weight(kg) + 6.25 x Height(cm) - 5 x Age - 161**
**Maintenance = BMR x Activity Factor + Nursing Calories**
A gentle deficit of 250 calories/day supports gradual weight loss of about 0.5 lbs per week. Never go below 1,800 kcal while breastfeeding.

हल किया गया उदाहरण
A 30-year-old, 155 lb, 65-inch tall postpartum woman, lightly active, exclusively breastfeeding.
- Weight = 70.3 kg, Height = 165.1 cm
- BMR = 10(70.3) + 6.25(165.1) - 5(30) - 161 = 1,384
- Maintenance = 1,384 x 1.3 + 500 = 2,299 kcal
- Gentle loss = 2,299 - 250 = 2,049 kcal
