Now i have been trying to work it out but i'm all confused now..

say one over indulges on during the week by 781 cals.. if i were to work off the 781 in addition to my preset MPF workout goal this would balance it out no? i am assuming i don't eat the 781 back again

but what if i just do my MFP goal ( it is 864) and only eat back the 782 - 864 cals?

i've confused myself...

    You've confused the heck out of me as well!

    However, I think you'd find it extremely difficult to make up the excess calories in one day, perhaps try having your net calories 100-200 lower for a few days to counteract it and remember that's it's what you do 90% of the time that make the difference, not what you do the other 10%.

    lol, add me to the confused list as well, but if you are saying you went over by 781 cals one day, if you do a bit of extra exercise during the week, and dont eat back those cals, then it should even itself out.
