I'm back and confused.

I was faithful to MFP and lost 43 lbs. I started when my third dd was still breast feeding. I was able to log that and it would subtract 500 from my in take. I am back and bfing number four and when I log the bfing it says -500 but does not change the totals. Has something changed or is it just because I have been mostly using the app to log?

    Please ignore the ridiculous sales-pitch spammy reply! I don't know about the changes to how Bfing is shown but hopefully someone with something actually helpful and not just a spammy sales pitch will reply to your question

    ETA: I just had a thought, if BFing is treated the way exercise is it doesn't "subtract" it from intake, it ads it to your total daily allowance. Does your daily allowance go up by the BF amount? Best of luck!

    Thanks. My daily allowance didn't change but I have decided to just add an exercise called breast feeding that burns 500. You have to walk a fine line when nursing and losing weight.
