    Just making sure I got this right. My total daily goal can be as much as 1834 without eating back exercise calories. If I eat 1800 calories and exercise away 500 calories. Then I do not deduct the exercise calories. Correct?

    Correct, because on some days you will eat 1800 and not even go to the gym, so it all balance out for the week.

    I would personally go with the TDEE - 20%, then aim to eat back at least half of your exercise calories.
    No.

    That's the MFP way that doesn't take exercise into account for the total. If you do TDEE-20%, the point is that you DON'T eat back your exercise calories.

    Oops! My bad, I actually meant it the other way round, as you and the others explained!

    It's ace saying the wrong thing and making myself look stupid! :P
