In my opinion neither. Just next time try you're best to stay within you're calorie bracket. You don't want to eat back what you have burned in excersicing. I never understood that one. Haha Good luck! I hope this helps.

In all due respect, you don't understand how MFP works. The calorie goal it gives you includes an appropriate deficit to lose weight at the rate you've selected. Barring extreme obesity (and even then you should be monitored by a doctor), you shouldn't be trying to lose weight faster by increasing your deficit by not eating back your exercise calories.

@AlanyaJade98 , you're fine. 57 kcals below your net goal (regular goal + calories from intentional exercise) is fine. If you want to exercise more in the future, then you'll also want to eat more. For most people, intentional exercise that burns 300 calories 4 to 5 times a week will give them the lion's share of general health benefits to be obtained from exercise, especially if you're including both cardio and strength training in your exercise routines. You might want to do more, or do specific things, if you're looking to improve fitness in specific ways or work toward specific goals.
