So, MFP has my Calorie goal at 1740 a day. I cant exercise every day of course. So, the days that I do exercise, I end up like 500 calories short. Were they wanting me to go like 2240 calories consumed, then 500 calories lost from exercise, equaling around 1740?

    I think what I said is exactly how it's supposed to be... confirm if right or wrong!

    Yes, it wants you to eat back your exercise calories. Or at least a portion of them (many people think that the mfp calorie burn is on the high side).

    Well on days that I work out, I'm hungry as hell, so that makes sense. As of right now, I have to eat over my calories when I've burned a bunch from working out. I just get flat out hungry! I don't want to send my body into starvation mode.
