Is there a way to change MyFitnessPal from increasing the daily calorie goal by the number of calories burnt during exercise? I really would like to do this so my calorie goal stays the same regardless of exercise.

    Just log it at the end of the day when you aren't going to eat anymore.

    Or....just don't eat the additional calories? I mean, you know what your calorie "limit" is before you log exercise, so don't eat beyond that point.

    How did you set your calorie goal?

    Disconnect the Fitbit or Garmin app that is adding the adjustment? But I don't see why you'd want to do that, either.

    Unless you used a TDEE calculator to estimate your calorie goal, that's not your healthiest possible choice.

    This. MFP intends you to eat back exercise calories.

    If you want to have the same calorie goal every day, then you can use a TDEE calculator as @AnnPT77 recommended. Or, you could manually calculate how many calories you burn in a week, divide by 7, and add that number of calories per day to the allowance MFP gives you--but that's assuming your calorie burn is consistent every week.

    It’s right there at the top. Your daily calorie goal is on the left. Right next to it is what you have eaten that day. Just ignore the next 2
