Does excercising up your saturated fat allowance?

So I 've brought this up before but not really had a conclusive answer.
When I exercise and I add my exercise calories to my diary aswell as adjusting my net calories for the day it also adds some to my allowance of other things such as carbs etc. My problem is that on the website it gives me extra allowance for saturated fat and sugar but on the app on my phone these two allowances remain the same. So my question is which do I believe? Does exercise burn off enough of these things to allow us to consume more?
I've played it safe usually so far but I'd be interested to know the definitive answer if anyone has any input?

I believe all the nutrients are calculated as a percentage of your daily allowance of calories. Your daily allowance increases when you log exercise, so I think the proper behavior is that it goes up, as reflected on the website.0
