Exercise adds calories back, but what about macronutrients?

I've only been on MFP a couple of days, but I've noticed that if you exercise, you have the calories you burn added back into your remaining calories for the day. But what about the macronutrients? If I exercise, will my fat/protein/carb allowences go up? How much?

    Yes it will go up as well. I do not know the formulas that they use, but they do increase proportinate to the amount of exercise.

    It goes up by the equivalent amount that your macros are set to. So if you have 40% carbs, 40% protein and 20% protein then it will add 4 calories per protein and carb and 9 calories per fat.
