Accounting for Breastfeeding

So, for my first week, I was just ignoring any loss of calories due to breastfeeding just because I didn't think about it. Then, I went back and added it in so that it subtracted 300 calories from my food intake. Then it told me I was eating too little for that first week, which I can't really do anything about, and I've been trying to eat back my breastfeeding calories, but not all of my exercise calories (usually about half). Really, I'm eating as long as I'm hungry and making sure that I'm not eating too much or too little. And it's still telling me I'm not eating enough. My husband and I eat very clean and it's a bit difficult to get those extra calories, without eating way more than I want to or eating tonnes of junk food.

Is anyone else having this problem? Should I take it too seriously?
