Change in calories burned as baby grows?

My son is 5 months old, and we supplement with formula (usually just one feeding per day while I'm at work, as I've not been able to build up a stash sufficient to keep him fed all day) and he is starting to eat some purees and infant cereals. Until now I have been adding "Breastfeeding" as a breakfast food worth negative 500 calories, but obviously if I'm no longer making as much milk, it's no longer burning as many calories. How would you account for this?

    I have been changing it but have no clue if it is right or not.

    Decrease your milk deficit. It will save you a lot of pain later.

    I believe there are different breastfeeding items that represent different breast milk outputs. I know you can find -500, -400, -300 and -200 options, but you could also just say you're using .75 of the generic 500 calorie deficit option.
