Question about calorie deficit and exercise calories

Hello,

This might sound silly but if someone does not eat back their exercise calories after one week, does the total number of calories not eaten carry into the next week and keep adding up?

For example, you burn 800 calories every day exercising: 800*7=5600 calories not eaten back yet

and then you keep doing this.

Thanks

    Your question is confusing. Are you asking if MFP will carry that over to your next week in the weekly calorie count?

    It adds up to something called loss of energy from breaking down an internal source, otherwise known as weight loss. Too much of a deficit and that weight loss may be from breaking down things that arent fat.

    I didn't intend to confuse anyone with my question. I realize that excessive calorie deficits can lead to undesired breakdown of material other than fat and thanks for addressing that. I was mainly asking from an energy standpoint - what happens with the accumulated energy deficit and I think the above poster addressed it.
