Can't find a scientific study on exercise calories.

I'm looking for a scientific study that supports exercise calories. (Not interested in anecdotal.)

As in,

Subject A ate 500 calorie deficit from baseline + did not eat exercise calories

and Subject B ate 500 calorie deficit from baseline + ate exercise calories AND had superior weight loss to Subject A

I'm not finding anything via google. Just general information about under eating, or overdoing exercise, but nothing specific to this.

Bueller?

If you are looking for a scientific study try searching medical journals and not google or even EBSCO host. Google usually doesn't turn up anything listed in professional journals.

Are you using normal google or google scholar? Google scholar will be better for finding published papers, or try PubMed

never heard of google scholar. ill take a look at that and the other above mentioned soruces. Thanks.

You probably can't find anything because most studies aren't quite set up like MFP is. Try looking for studies about BMR and TDEE.

I agree, Google scholar would be better. Also, if you have access to a university library, you will have access to loads of medical and other scholarly journals.
