    Is this a joke? It's all been said.

    I used to but then I realized that I was getting a little too much calorie credits for my workouts....it would feel counter productive if I would eat them back. I try to really listen to my body- If I'm hungry after exercising, I'll eat a snack.

    It depends on how you set up MFP calorie goal.

    MFP doesn't take exercise into account when setting your goal, so to maintain the same deficit you chose then yes you should.

    But if you used an activity based TDEE calculation from elsewhere, then no there is no need to,

    Have a good read of the stickied threads above, and you will learn how MFP works.
