    My goal is set at maintenance, or what MFP tells me is maintenance. I eat back all the calories I burn from exercise, and I've lost a little weight over the last year. Obviously something is off.. maintenance is calculated wrong here, I'm eating less than I think, I'm burning more than I think, or something. But my point is that eating back my calories has not hindered my goals. I'm going to take a chance and say that this is pretty highly personalized, like a lot of things here. I'd suggest choosing a method (eat them all back, eat a set percentage back, or eat none back) and stick with it for a while. Track your weight and see what happens. Adjust accordingly.
