    If you log your exercise on MFP, it will be added to the calories which you are supposed to eat back. As 700 is a big burn, you would be better off eating them back as your body will need the nutrients that you get from the food. Also, I would not recommend speeding up the weightloss process and try for a loss of .5kg per week which is 1.1 pounds. Quick weight loss is usually followed by gaining the weight back or adverse health issues; it's not worth the risk!

    You definitely need to log your exercise and eat the extra calories! I can't imagine it's healthy to net 500 calories/day.
