    I haven't tried, but 500 calories is kinda the default number if you are breastfeeding full-time.

    search the food database for "breastfeeding" and it will add negative calories onto your food diary

    You’ve got this! Yes, 500 calories is approx what you are giving to the baby daily. It is extra important to eat foods that are vitamin rich so you don’t drain yourself of energy to keep your goals.

    Is there anywhere to look for calorie amounts for non-exclusive breastfeeding? for toddlers.
