Since breastfeeding varies for everyone, we don't currently offer a specific recommendation for adjusting your calories. However, if you obtain a calorie estimate from your doctor or nutritionist, you can easily change your calorie goal to account for the difference.
To adjust your calorie goal:
On the Web
-
Click "My Home" then "Goals" then "Change Goals, then select "Custom." Be sure to save your changes
In the Android, iPad and iPhone apps
- Select "Goals" in the Menu (or "More" page) then "Calories, Carbs, Protein and Fat Goals". Be sure to save your changes.
As an alternative, you may log "breastfeeding" as an exercise. Once you have a calorie estimate, you can add "breastfeeding" as a custom cardiovascular exercise to your exercise database.
