Got peanut butter?

Because Peanut Butter is decently high cal and would be an easy way for you to eat some of your remaining calories.

The reason the workout added calories is because MFP estimates your daily calorie burn before exercise. It takes this number and subtracts a set number of calories off based on the weight loss goal you picked (250, 500, 750, or 1000). Now, when you exercise your daily burn increases. To maintain the same difference you have to eat some or all of them back.
An example:
2000 calorie burn before exercise
-500 to lose 1lb per week
1500 calorie goal to lose weight without exercise
500 calorie burn from exercise
2500 calorie burn with exercise
-500 to lose 1lb per week
2000 total calories to consume/1500 NET

But I have a problem it's 1030 pm no way I want to eat 1000 cal and go to bed is that bad?

So don't eat all. Maybe eat some and save some for another day this week. You could use them for a night out with friends or even a special high calorie treat that you can't normally fit into your budget.

i would recommend NOT eating back all your exercise cals as mfp greatly overestimates calorie burn for most activities. i generally eat back half.
