Breast Feeding

StorkVictim

Does anyone have an opinion on if I should count breastfeeding into calorie count?? It is supposed to burn about 500 calories per day? Do I count this as an exercise??

I heard that there is an entry in the excercise already made for it. try lookin for that. i would defnitly count it. i think it would be super important to make sure your not stealing anything from baby int he spirit of getting fit. know what imean?

search for "breastfeeding" in food and a few options will come up, I chose "breastfeeding - mother of older baby" which gives me 300 extra calories. it seems to be working for me, I am losing a pound a week.

You need to count it. Someone else said it if you burn to many calories you will start to lose your milk supply.
