Caloric intake question

TheGoalDigger

Help me out please. If my caloric intake is 1500 (already at a deficit) and let's say I burn 500 calories, Do I have to consume the calories I burned since I was already at a deficit?

I'm a little lost.

Yes. MFP doesn't count exercise calories, they're considered extra. It's advised though to only eat a portion of exercise calories since calories burned are often overestimated. Usually people eat half or so, give themselves a month and see if weight loss is happening as expected.
