Question; Does my daily calorie goal take my BMR into account?

i.e. to calculate net calories, should I really be doing net=food-BMR-calories from exercise?

No. BMR and exercise are only 2 of the ways in which you burn calories. There is also non-exercise activity and digesting food. MFP's target includes all but purposeful exercise.0

The daily caloric goal already includes BMR (basal metabolic rate).
Please see this article, and search for other helpful articles, on the MFP Help pages...
