    You burned extra calories, you get to eat extra calories!

    Calories in, calories out.

    You can't explain that.

    :p

    You burn off some calories, so you can eat more and still be on track to lose what your goal is set to.

    I think most MFP's don't eat back their exercise calories but you can eat them back and still lose weight, but maybe not as quickly.
