Calories from exercise, do I eat ALL of them?`

So I just started using a fitbit and am new to MFP. My calorie goal was roughly 1380 today and after eating breakfast and lunch and exercising it is saying I still have aboutt 2000 calories for the day? Is this accurate or am I tracking something wrong? It says I burned about 1700 calories which included a 30 minute walk this morning, my semi-active job, and an hour of a pretty intense kickboxing class.

    Rml,

    Everyone is different. I can eat 1000 Calories in a day and be stuffed. You can actually Change your calorie limit under settings tab. if you go below 1200 It will kick back and say you should have at least 1200 a day.

    Did it accurately log how many calories you burned from the kickboxing? I don't kickbox, so I have no idea what the normal range is, but I can run a 5K and only burn 350 calories. :)
