Stop logging your exercise, or if its getting it directly from a fitness tracker, then unlink your accounts.
You can look in the settings for MFP, but I think it only has a setting to not allow positive calories, not negative.0 -
It subtracts those calories because you are supposed to eat your exercise calories back, because else you may create too large a caloric deficit.
If you like to keep it more simple and just eat a fixed number of calories everyday, you may like the 'TDEE method'.
