Is there a way to add the fact that you are a breastfeeding mother to your profile to adjust your calories? I have read you are supposed to add about 300 calories a day but this app didn't even ask if you are a breastfeeding mom...?

    I always added it to the exercise portion. If you know how many oz (if you are pumping a lot) there is a entry for it that is -20 calories in the food area.

    I believe you can customize your calorie goals if you go to the Goals link. I would just take the number that MyFitnessPal calculates for you and then customize your goals adding on the 300 calories that you should have since you're breastfeeding.
