When I exercise I usually burn about 600 calories. Do I use them or ignore. I am on a 1200 calorie diet.

    This^

    MFP gave you a calorie goal before exercise. That said.....some calorie burn estimates are better than others. Many people here eat back 50-75% and then adjust up or down (over time) based on actual weight loss results.

    How are you tracking your calories burned? Make sure you have an accurate total before considering them in your plan. Most people greatly overstate their calories burned.

    I'm 52,Keto, and burn 500-1100 exercise calories per day. Zumba, Kettlebells, yoga. It adds up quickly doesn't it!?! I'm typically not hungry being Keto but on days I burn more calories I do make sure I eat extra. Maybe consider keeping your balance after exercise is over 1,000 and see how you respond?
