I am new to finesspal and always dieted with a daily of around 1400. Now I am seeing on this sight that the calories that i burnt at the gym i can add the total to my daily intake. This does not make any sense to me. Can someone explain to me why my food diary is telling me to eat more? TIA

Mfp gives you a deficit before exercise, so you can eat exercise cals back and still lose weight1
