    I just added breastfeeding under exercise and defined it as a 500 cal event, and then every day I add it to my exercise

    Doesn't look like there is a way to include that but the website http://www.ahealthyme.com/topic/calneed takes breastfeeding into consideration. So I suggest using their calculator and then using that number as your base.

    I thought about doing that but then it throws off how many cals I should be burning a week with actual exercise, and you can burn between 300-500 so I usually eat about 400 more.
