    :lol: how does that flowchart get a "woo"? :neutral:

    A full 2/3 of my posts since the first of the month have been woo'd. Someone out there clearly wants me to sit down and stop giving advice, but I take them as a sign to keep going, even if it's just to annoy the people who are downvoting me.

    Either that or you've got the portion of people who misunderstand the woo button trying to give you a positive high five in the wrong way. :D

    Pika!!!

    Argh, I maybe didn’t make myself clear!
    I usually eat about 1800-2000 calories a day, (by bad calories I just meant crap!) and of course I know it’s fuel. I want to just streamline, get a bit trimmer, and that’s why I thought I’d use MFP to keep account. I have a mega healthy veggie diet but like everyone I am prone to a little ‘sin’, mine being the odd glass of wine.
    I did my BMR and it calculated I needed to take away 500 to set my calorie goal, so I’m looking at 1500. To be honest, I know I just need to cut out the wine, (and the cheese in such quantities!) and maybe do more squats! But MFP is great to keep you on track!
    I just wondered if I need to eat more once the exercise is done to shift the odd pound or two...

    You take calories from your TDEE not BMR

    and

    Also, just for the record, I’ve never counted a calorie in my life! I’ve always gone by eating clean, eat bright coloured veg, exercise, and don’t beat yourself up about it! All things in moderation. Only thing is, I want abs NOW!!

    Abs don't happen "NOW!!". They happen over time, by eating at a reasonable calorie deficit and losing the fat covering them. There's nothing about the process that's fast - and if you want shredded, defined abs there's nothing about it that's easy either.



    Quoting for repetition, so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle.
