Is there a way for me to note that I am a nursing mother?

    To my knowledge, no. What I do is add an exercise every day for breastfeeding for 60 minutes and have that at 400 calories. The other option is to increase your calorie goal for the day.

    The estimates I have seen say that your burn 300-500 calories a day nursing (assuming exclusively). So I take the middle of that and use it. Hope that helps.
