I have a body bugg and it's linked to here. It puts in calorie adjustments automatically.. I'm trying to understand how it works

Example:
Yesterday
My calorie goal is set to 1200 with the intention of eating back exercise calories.
I ate: 1835
My body bugg says I burned: 2435 yesterday but will probably go up slightly when i upload again tonight. This should be my TDEE for yesterday.
The run I did logged itself on here at: 184 calories burned
the body bugg adjustment was: 307

So the totals are:
TDEE: 2435
Exercise: 491 (which is low according to the the body media site i burned more then that during combat class alone)
calories in: 1835

a deficit of 600..

but if you add the exercise to my starting calories you get: 1691 which is a deficit of 744 from the TDEE it gave me; however when it added in my exercise calories, it bumped my calorie target to 2091. Which is only a deficit of 435.

oh and my calorie number on bodymedia site is set at 1563.. I've got it set to very active.. 10,000 steps per day, exercise 5 days a week, and losing 2 pounds per week. if that makes a difference? (which I am very active and I do reach more then 10,000 steps most days)

So here's my questions:
So is it trying to tell me that I should be eating 1691? or 2091? or should I be at 1563 that the body media site has me at?
Do I have my starting calories set wrong?
Or is it not logging exercise correctly?
Or am i missing something?
