Ok so my question is if my calorie intake goal a day is 2,200 and I go on a run and I burn say 400 calories would I then eat 2,600? Like my plan is to gain more muscle and kinda shred down so lose body fat so what should I do?

    Yes, the way MFP calculates your goal you are supposed to log intentional exercise and eat those calories back.

    There are alot of really experienced users in the gainig weight and body building forums, so if you need help making a plan I'd suggest checking out the " most helpful posts" at the very top of that page, and hanging out over there to soak up the knowledge.
