Help Explain the Exercise Calories???

Hi,
I have understood so far that if MFP says I should eat 1250 calories/day, and I exercise off 400 calories, I should eat those 400 back so my body doesn't think I ate only 850 calories. Right??

What about the goals I set at the beginning of MFP? I said how many pounds I wanted to lose, but I also set how many times/week I would like to exercise. Does MFP already calculate my exercise calories in to my daily amount, or are the exercise goals listed only for my reference?

Thanks!
