nursing calories???

Options
Hey, just wondering if anyone knows how many extra calories a day you are suppose to eat if you are nursing. MFP says I'm suppose to eat 1250 a day but I think it should be a little more than that since I am nursing. Thanks for the help :)

    If you go into the food diary, and put 'nursing' it will give you a load of options that you can add which subtracts the calories you burn nursing, which will give u a larger number of calories to eat.... if that makes sense!
