Nutrients stay the same even when exercising?

I am allotted 1500 calories a day, when I work out on my elliptical I burn roughly 300 calories. MFP makes the appropriate adjustment on my phone/site but my carbs, fat, protein amounts stay the same, is this normal? MFP allows me to eat more calories but does NOT adjust nutrients.

    That's how it works.

    it should adjust your macros as well given MFP uses a % of your daily calorie intake and your macros are what make your calories.

    It adjusts my macros when I input exercise calories. Try updating your profile.
