I just started back and previous did MFP with 1400 calories a day as my goal. Now I am breast feeding so how many should I eat?

    If you're full-time breastfeeding an infant, add 500 calories for that. So try 1900 (and I wouldn't go below that).

    As milk intake of the baby decreases, so does your calorie needs, but that's a problem for later.

    I added "breastfeeding" as a cardio exercise and gave it a value of 500. I think there are other ways, but that's how I did it. :)
