Calorie question...

My calorie intake is set at 1200. Am I supposed to get my food calories or my net calories up to 1200? If net, it seems like alot of calories after I factor in my exercise...feels like I would be canceling out the benefits of my workout. Thanks for your help!

MFP is set up so that you do NOT have to exercise to lose weight. It calculates a deficit into your calorie goal. Please educate yourself on what you are signing up for. If MFP's system didn't intend for you to eat back your exercise calories, it wouldn't tell you to eat them back.
