Any moms know of a way to add in extra calories needed for breastfeeding?

    Are you talking about adding them in as far as food, or adding them into your diary for tracking?

    well, I was hoping there was a way to add it in the profile so it calculates more calories for the day, and not have to add breastfeeding every day to my food tracker.

    You can manually set your calorie goals. So take the goal that it's set for right now, add the amount of extra calories to that number and then manually set the calorie number in the "goals" section. :smile:

    The other way I've seen it done is to add it as exercise. I think it's already in the system for 500 calories for exercising, and it will also add them to your final calorie goal.
