Breastfeed much?

why is breastfeeding not considered? You burn around 500 calories a day breastfeeding and I think that should be factored in. Thought?

    There is a breast feeding entry that gives you extra cals per oz your baby eats.

    It's listed under exercise or as a negative calorie food. You can log it either place (though i think negative calorie foods are buggy on the app) and it will add more calories to your goal.

    You can, and should, give yourself 300-500 for breastfeeding. I just logged it under snacks as a negative calorie thing. You can also log it as exercise.

    I add it to my diary under breakfast every morning. I might have been better off using the exercise option though; I think entering nursing as food makes my reports a little harder to interpret (e.g. saying I ate 1500 when in actuality I ate 2000 total).
