    MFP is designed for you to eat your exercise calories back. You will still be in a deficit, and you will still lose weight at the same rate-you'll just get to eat more. It is suggested to start by eating half the calories back as the app tends to inflate the burn.

    I don't record my exercise for this reason.

    Should be OK to close as long as you're over 1000-calories for a woman (1200 for a man):

    @pierson_lauren , your diary for today shows >1200 cals, you "should" be able to close it... Is it still not working for you (with that red-text message about not eating enough?)

    see your duplicate thread here for a few more insights: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10313379/wont-let-me-complete-diary
