Hi all. I just signed on today and am concerned because my recommended # of calories is 1400. Based on my nursing needs though I need to average 1800. Is there somewhere on the site that I can input this information? Thank you for your help! :)

    Go to goals and click change goals.. it will give you an option to set your goal limit or to use the recommned which is the 1400 .

    There is:

    I agree, that seems very low. I needed about 600 calories a day more when I was nursing - it was great! - and my nutritionist says everyone needs 1,500 calories just for normal bodily functions (breathing, digesting, cell renewal, etc.), so you need over 2,000.

    Hope this helps!
