Will the Muscle Mommy program help with post-pregnancy core stability?
I'm 5 months postpartum with my first child, and I breastfeed. I had a c-section and weighed around 155 before I got pregnant. I didn't gain any weight during my pregnancy, and since giving birth, I lost over 20lbs postpartum. I currently weigh around 130 but struggle with nutrition. I want to keep working out, but I feel like I'm going backwards because I don't think I'm eating enough. I have MAPS Starter, but I'm not sure if I should continue the program and work on my nutrition or focus on nutrition before I start working out. What should I do?
My next question is about macros. I’ve counted macros for a while, and I feel like I’m eating enough. How would I know the difference between eating too much, which would explain the weight plateau/gain, versus still overtraining/under eating?
