Eating back exercise fat, carbs, and protein

KLaurean

I understand the concept of eating back your exercise calories, but MFP also increases fat, carbs, and protein when you log your exercise.
Do any of you also eat everything else back along with your calories? I'm worried about over consuming when I don't need to.
Also, I've increased my fat intake because I am eating a lot of the healthy fat. I'm at 40 instead of 27, so would taking in any more fat be bad for me?

I am supposed to eat 2100 calories per day. I exercise roughly 1000 calories most days and eat back nearly all my calories every time along with the extra carbs, protein and fat and still lose 4lb every week unless I do something crazy. The extra calories have to come from carbs, protein and fat because there is nothing else for them to be made of

edit: what I mean to say is that all calories are made up of at least one of carbs, protein etc - so if they are increasing the amount of calories the amount of fat etc also HAS to rise - because that is what calories are made of. MFP lets you know which amount of protein, carbs, fat etc your body can use now that you have exercised you need to stick to within those amounts otherwise you will be eating more of a certain food type than your body can use and it will be stored as fat (as I understand).

It does increase the rest of the levels? I guess I've never noticed that...

the fat, carbs, and protein are what increase the calories... you won't find a food that has calories that doesn't contain 1 or more of those nutritionals.

There are 4 macronutrients that are caloric, Carbs, Protein, Fat, and Alcohol. You can't increase calories without increasing at least one of the things that is caloric. Carbs and Protein are 4 calories per gram, Fat is 9 calories per gram, and Alcohol is 7 calories per gram. So, you can eat more grams of carbs and protein without increasing calories as much as if you consume fat or alcohol, but if you increase calories you have to increase carbs, protein, fat, &/or alcohol.
