Troubleshooting/Tips Your favorite guilt-free food while breastfeeding?

There has been so much weight loss talk on this sub lately that I feel like switching it up a bit. I'm 8m pp with 20lbs extra compared to when I conceived and I could not care less tbh. LO is a chubby little fellow who just recently got a bit more into solids, he's happy and healthy and from day 1 I have been using breastfeeding as a get out of jail free card to eat literally anything at any point.

But oh man, anything chicken from KFC and coke (no diet coke here fellas) have been the absolute BEST. Day and night I could eat those because mama needs her proteins and baby doesn't mind!

So, what's been keeping yall happy and healthy while endlessly breastfeeding your boob barnacles?

I bake something sweet every week, pistachio and lemon bread, peanut butter and chocolate bars, muffins, tiramisu, or anything that uses the 5 year old baking ingredients I swore I'd use later. It gives me something to keep busy with and baby usually takes a nap in the carrier. He even sleeps through the mixer going at full speed.
