New on here, just wondering if there's a way to add that you breast feed? I know you have to eat so many calories and you burn so many whike nursing.

    Sadly there isn't (I looked when I breast fed my son). I vote that we contact support and ask to add that.

    Yes I believe you can add it as “exercise” although I don’t know how accurate that would be since all babies nurse at different speeds. When I was nursing I would just set my goal to maintenance and not worry about adding extra calories in. It worked for me, I lost weight quite easily.

    ETA I was wrong it’s in the food category. Not the exercise category.

    I think that is a good enough declaration. A picture would be proof too.
