    I don't eat back all of my exercise calories, I usually leave 100-200 calories left over and this has been successful for me so far. I've steadily lost 21 pounds in a year.

    I don't eat them all back, usually. About half.

    MFPs calculations are greatly exaggerated.

    You can't use MFP's calories count, or the count on exercise machines, either. Best to get a good HRM (heart rate monitor) with a chest strap for the most accurate calorie count.
