Striiv Calorie Adjustment?

I recently downloaded Striiv (mfp's suggested pedometer app) for my iphone and was surprised it automatically adjusted my calorie needs by so much. I work as a stocker at walmart so I am on my feet all day but I listed myself as active on mfp's settings. I only had the phone on me for half the day and it says that my daily calorie's burned is over 500 more than mfp is saying. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone has used Striiv before and if I really should be increasing my calorie intake based upon it's suggestions.

    I just did the same and was having the same question. My lifestyle is set to sedentary like they say it should be but I'm very surprised about the amounts it's given me. I've been thinking maybe I shouldn't eat any of those calories back except ones that are actually burned by real exercise?
