Calorie/macros not adjusting in meals

I am trying to follow the macros goals I have set for myself and am wondering if there is a way to change the those parameters within the meal dashboard once an exercise has been added. For example, my base calories are 1,599. And each meal is under 500, with 150 for snacks. When I add workouts, my calorie goal changes to over 2.000.
However when I add exercises to my count, only the total number of calories I need to maintain is shown, but not reflected in each meal. If I meet the calorie goal after working out, my meals don’t adjust so it looks like I am way over. Help!

How about you add another category and just call it "Exercise Calories" and don't give it a hard number. You can use that if it helps. Or just ignore the per-meal goal because what really matters is your balance over the course of a week or more, not part of a day.0
