If I have earned nearly 400 calories extra a day from exercise, should I be eating those calories? or would that just maintain my current weight? Im trying to lose at least 20 by sept 12. It makes sense to me just to eat my current calorie intake of no more than 1,200 to continue to lose this weight, but Im not sure what to do with the extra calories.

    eat them. MFP factors your deficit in when it determines how much you can eat. exercising creates a larger deficit still. When you are already as low as 1200, you should absolutely be eating exercise calories back.

    congrats on the upcoming wedding:flowerforyou:
