question about calories and exercise

I've been dieting and exercising on my fitness pal since Thursday. Everytime I get my number of calories where they are supposed to be, the exercising knocks the calories back down under the limit. Does that mean at the end of the night I have to eat enough to replace those calories for me to lose weight?

    If you're speaking of net cals, then you should ideally eat most of your calories back from exercise.
