I just joined myfitnesspal, I am still learning to navigate the site.
When I excercize the program adds calories, it there way to prevent
that automatic addition? I am excercizing to lose weight, not add calories!

When you set your goals, MFP figured in a calorie deficit, not counting exercise. Therefore, when you exercise, you have a bigger deficit, which can become too large for healthy weight loss. That's why you eat back your exercise calories.

True so true. You want to stay near your BMR when all is said and done at the end of the day. Keeping toward that number will insure Healthy weight loss. (go to tools and you can check it there)
