Fit bit calories

Have a fit bit and also use this site together, so I am allowed 1200 calories a day, however once I exercise, the calorie count goes up. Does this mean I can eat more or do I stay at the 1200?

    MFP is giving you extra calories to compensate for what you burned. If your calories are set at 1200, you burn 300 from exercise, your net calories eaten is 900. 1200 is the lowest your body needs to maintain proper nutrition, so yes, you should eat back some of your exercise calories.
