Breastfeeding Topic

Is there a way in the app we can tell it we’re breast feeding to account for the extra needed calories?

Hi Kenziejae,
Thanks for your question. There isn't a way to tell the app you are breastfeeding but you can set your calorie goal to override the estimated calories. You can also simply use your weight maintenance calories as your daily target and then allow the calorie deficit caused by breastfeeding to shave off your weight naturally. Here is an article that includes guidelines for breastfeeding and tracking that you may find useful.
