Is there a way to make it so your calories burned exercising don't get added to your total calorie allowance for the day??

    Don't log exercise or only log as 1 calorie.

    Are you following MFP caloric guideline or did you enter your own goal manually?

    The reason I ask is that if you went with MFP's guideline you should be eating the calories back.

    This drove me crazy at first. I researched how to to turn it off and there was no clear answer to be found. I tired several suggestions that I had found, but none worked. I am on 1200 calories per day now, (began at an odd 1310) so it is easier to tell at a glance where I am with the added activity calories earned.

    Unless you're specifically creating some/all of your deficit from exercising (and therefore eating near/at your maintenance), you shouldn't want your exercise calories not to show.

    @1200 there is no reason to not be eating your exercise calories back, unless you are being medically supervised from a doctor.
