    ah, i am new here, too,
    it seems,
    on MFP,
    that once you log your exercise,
    your daily allotment of calories goes up in response to the calories that MFP has decided you 'burned'.

    many many members here on MFP seem to think we should also "eat our exercise calories" back.

    so i think that is what you are seeing going on there, with the increased and variable calorie allotment.


    If you do not wish to eat back your exercise calories,
    You could either memorize your daily baseline calorie allotment,
    and try to stick to that number,
    or
    you can log your exercise AFTER you have completed your food diary.

    ALSO, CONGRATS ON THE WEIGHT LOSS!!
