Do you do this?

When you've logged your calories in for the day, do you eat more if you've exercised? I've seen some people do either way. Which is better? Exercising with or without replacing the calories???

I try to do lower carb on my cardio days and a balanced carb day on my weights day.

you'll get mixed anwsers from people but I usually eat mine. I think of it if I'm gonna drive a longer distance I'm gonna need more fuel. If I"m just staying in town (aka not excercising) I don't need as much fuel.

I've adjusted my diet to match the MFP recommended amount (1650 cal) - excercise I treat as a bonus and don't eat extra to balance it

I agree...and, especially if you're lifting, you need extra protein for muscle recovery. I always try to watch my carbs...things are less "jiggly" that way,

I just started, but I seem to be eating back only a portion, but I plan to do it based on the ammount of exercise. If its a long strenuous workout I plan to eat back at least 50-75% of the calories, but if it was short or not too intense, then I will probably not eat back or maybe eat back 25-50%... I dunno...
