    Another thing I'm confused about -

    Should I be eating 500 calories less than I'm SUPPOSED to be eating, or 500 less than I NORMALLY eat? I've been trying to eat more because other people have told me I need to up my calorie intake (especially when I'm exercising)...so yeah..confused.

    500 calories less than what your TDEE is (your BMR + activity level)
    If you input your setting to be lose a lb a week MFP should set this for you, if you log exercise, you'll end up eating more to get to 1500 calories (net).
