Eating Back Exercise Calories.

I've been told, and I've heard, all sorts of different things about exercise calories. "Eat them all back" "Only eat half back!" "Don't eat ANY back!"
I'm confused. I use an HRM(with the chest strap) and I'm burning 200-550 calories a day, doing 30DS six days per week, jogging 4-5 days per week.
Wouldn't eating them all back partially defeat the purpose of exercise?
Could not eating any back be bad for me?
What do you guys do? What should I do?

    was hoping there would be replies as i am facing the dilemma too!! i have been eating them back coz i figure i have used up the energy required for my body to function so i should replenish the body with good healthy food :( coz i went way under the one time and the app told me my body would go into starvation mode and lower my metabolism. so confused
