Just a tip for those of us BF or pumping...
When you add a food to your diary search for breastfeeding. There are several options, I use "Breastfeeding - Producing Breastmilk." It gives you negative calories for the day.
Or, you can just input your weight loss goals like usual and add 300-500 calories to the number it gives you to account for daily BF/pumping.

Nice! I was doing the second option, but it's kind of nice to see the negative calories.0

Oh wow, I had no idea that feature was available. Thanks!0

When I put that in for mine it shows negative on the individual meal but doesn't change the daily number on top.0

Some of the options did that to me too. I picked a different one until it actually subtracted the calories.0

I created an exercise for mine. Not sure exactly how accurate it is. But I read that 20 calories are burned per oz of breastmilk created. Since feeding I don't know exactly how much she is getting, but when she takes a bottle of pumped milk she eats between 4-6 oz. So I just calculated based upon 4oz (20 min=80 calories).0
