    You can log exercise in the "exercise" tab (well, on the website, I'm sure there's an exercise area on the phone app, but it may not be a "tab"). If you go bike riding, select the appropriate description (there are probably different exercises based on how fast you were going). MFP will automatically add those calories back to your daily goal. So just eat to your goal. Some people think that MFP overestimates exercise calories, but you should be eating at least half of them back.
