Exercise points on MFP

I have a question for you other lovely OA people. I am using MFP to log my calories/food intake and I think it is helping me to have a better idea so far of what I should be eating portion size wise. My abstinence has been 3 meals a day with none of my binge or trigger foods and I am sticking to that but using MFP and the calorie goal it has set me as anadditional part of my abstinence. So then when I do exercise like go for a swim yesterday it gives me extra calories and I don't really know what to do. I need to start doing regular exercise but it is confusing to have extra given to me when I have already made my food plan, does that make sense? I dont want to have extra snacks because they can trigger my COE. Just wondering how others of you manage this one? Would appreciate your help here

I'm still trying to figure that one out myself. I use to eat 3 meals a day with nothing in between but as my trainer said, the more you work out the more ya need to eat. I was under eating, why I wasn't losing weight. All I can do right now is trust. I have had to add a couple snacks to my food plan at times. It is a lot of food to ME but I will wait and see, I don't like to weigh too often so I don't know how much I have lost yet. You know at the end of your food diary and they give you a "if everyday was like today you would be xx amount of weight in 5 weeks"? I try to stick to that number on average. Does that make sense?0
