Calories burned

When I work out, I burn 300-600 calories. If I didn't want to loose any weight, I should eat 2050 calories, according to MFP.

So, logically, does it make sense to subtract 85 calories (the amount I would burn in an average hour 2050/24) from the total calories burned during exercise for an hour?

Does anyone use this trick? I suppose it is always better to underestimate calories burned anyway...

    I subtract the calories for the BMR rate. So my BMR is about 1800 (normal daily activity burn is 2250). So for every 1hr of working out, I subtract 75 cals. Its not set in stone, but its working for me! Good luck!
