    I just looked at what you are eating and you are NOT eating enough, I would be hungry on what you ate today.

    But, anyway I eat my daily calorie goal and work that off.... I don't eat my exercise back.

    I suggest not to do that.

    Personally I think it is a good idea, I don't see the need to deprive myself more than I have to!

    It is really up to you though - if you don't eat them you are creating a much larger calorie deficit - this might work fine for you, or your body may react by slowing your metabolism down to cope with a low calorie intake.

    Go to the help menu and read the FAQs, then once you have a good idea how MFP works you can make an educated decision about what is best for you.

    Thanks all for your replies. I have been sticking close to my 1200 cals per day some days over some days under as per what my personal trainer recommened not eating the same cals every day. I'm just going to keep going as I have been as I have not felt hungry
