MFP and breastfeeding?

JnfrSh123

Hi all,
Does anyone know anyway I can account for breastfeeding? As far as Iv read you burn an extra 500cal per day. I can't see anywhere to log it but I'd rather incorporate it without it affecting my exercise stats if possible. Also feel free to add me I need all the encouragement I can get!! Thanks.

sounds like you already have a pretty good idea of what you should be doing. just going to throw this in here since I found it to be pretty informative (you are already past the first half but there is some good discussion in the second half about breast feeding)

good luck!
