Question on daily goals

Hi All, This is a question regarding the MFP goal setting app. I set my calorie goal manually to 1400 calories in the goals tab. But I see in my diary the total calorie goal adjusts itself to always more than the limit that I set (i.e.,1400). Today its showing 1750. Do anyone know why it does like this and how can I prevent it?

    I cant see your diary. Open it up.

    MFP doesn't include exercise in its initial daily goal, but instead adjusts the goal to add calories when you exercise. If you want to include exercise in your custom goal, you'd need to log exercise as one calorie.
