Hi everyone! I just joined My Fitness Pal today with the hopes of losing 50lbs that I have been carrying since before pregnancy! I currently nurse my 8 month old son and am wondering how many extra calories I should be adding to the amount that MFP shows me that I should be eating? Sorry if this question has been asked before I am very unfamiliar with MFP and trying to get a grasp on everything! Thank you so much!

    My son is 5 months and I account for an extra 500 calories. When he starts solids I'll drop down to 250. I keep my caliores at 1700. There is a -250 calories in the food Directory that will subtract those calories from your diary. Just type in breastfeeding in the search box.
