I am suppoused to eat 1630 calories a day. I eat that give or take but then if I exercise I do not add more. Am I suppoused to add the calories I exercised back to my alloted calories? Also if I eat 1600 calories then work out 450 calories does that mean I am going in to starvation mode? I am sure this has been answered many a times but...

    No, you don't have to and probably shouldn't add back all the calories MFP says you've burned. (It's inaccurate.)

    Some choose to, some choose not to. Do what works for you... it's important to create a deficit to lose weight (burn more than you consume), how much that deficit ends up being and how you feel energy wise is what's important.

    If youre hungry at the end of the day or the next morning, eat more! Yesterday I was ravenous and today I can't finish my lunch.. all with the same calories and similar workouts..
