Am I suppose to burn the calories I consume?

No. MFP gives you the amount of calories you need to EAT to lose weight. If you do additional exercise, it will estimate your burn, and you can more calories that day and still lose weight at the same rate. It is recommended to eat only a portion of your exercise calories back because MFP overestimates the burns.0

Yes. And you don't have to exercise to lose the weight. Exercise is good for your heart and helps if you want to eat more.0
