    When you are entering your food, you can choose to "add quick calories" and on 500 calories for bfing. that's how my girls and i have been tracking it.

    My doctor told me 300-500 cals a day for breastfeeding. As long as you are past the six week mark.

    Good luck.

    My friend puts in as an exercise. 1 minute = 500 calories. Then you get the extra calories alloted to your food allowance.

    I do it in my food section. If you are exclusively nursing it should be 500 calories a day.
