    Welcome!

    Your calorie deficit is built into the number MFP gives for you. However, MFP is notorious for overestimating number of calories burned, so unless you have a device that accurately track, you'll only want to eat back about 1/2 that number.

    yes don't eat back all your exercise calories. I'd say only eat back 1/2.
