Calorie Counting

nilson77

So I am new to this....calorie counting thing. Under my food diary it says how many calories I should consume daily....then adds a few hundred when I add exercise into my day. Do I really want to eat back the calories that I have burned off through exercise?....or should I just stick to the daily recommendation before exercise?
