Hello, Is there any way to disable the calories that you burn during exercise? I still want to log my exercise but I don't want to have it adjust my dietary stats. I suck at math and am following macros in addition to calories so please don't say cut back because I just can't wrap my head around it. I am a premium member. If I can't then I won't be logging any exercise. Which kind sucks...

    From the MFP Help pages...
    If you are an advanced user or have specific dietary needs, you may wish to exert more control over your nutritional goals. Users who subscribe to MyFitnessPal Premium can modify the effects of logging cardio exercise. This can be helpful, for example, to those who must not consume more than a certain amount of carbs per day, or who may wish to distribute their exercise calories across fat, carbs and protein for specific dietary or performance goals. With a Premium subscription:
    In Android and iOS, visit the "Goals" Screen and tap "Exercise Calories"
    On the Web, click "My Home" then "Goals" then click "Edit" in the "Fitness" area
    Then, turn exercise calories to "Off" if you want your nutritional goals to remain static when you add cardio exercise.
    Or leave, exercise calorie "on," but select "Custom percentage" and modify the ratio of carbs, protein and fat added back to your goals when you work out!
