Daily calories and macros went up randomly?

I was logging my food for the day when I noticed that my daily calorie goal AND macros goal somehow re-set themselves and are way too high than I'd like right now. I'm kind of confused because I went to go change my goals but it says its still the same as its always been (1200 cals). Why is it saying 1551 now!? also annoyed since I ate something that I shouldn't have, thinking I could fit it in. =/

Is this supposed to happen as you lose weight/exercise?? I'm new to this still so advice would be much appreciated :D

    Did you log any exercise? MFP has you eat back your exercise calories, so if you logged that you burned 351 calories, it would have you eating 1551 if your base was set to 1200.

    Historically, that's been quoted as "how can you have any pudding if you don't eat back your exercise calories."

    I like to refer to them as Chocolate Peanut Butter Häagen-Dazs calories.
