food calorie allowance changed

did u do 611 calories worth of cardio? 4 some reason it adds exercise 2 your daily allowance. just wondering.

Did you add in any exercise? I am a relatively new user. Exercise is not my problem, diet is. I found when I recorded my exercise, the calorie limit went way up so I eliminated that component of MFP. This may be why you are experiencing this calorie change.

I am going more by what my body is telling me.

After the first week, I got a "fade" during exercise, so I upped the calorie limit a bit by reducing the expected loss per week. I will monitor my progress and make adjustments accordingly.

When you work out, MFP adds your workout calories back into your total. You are supposed to eat your exercise calories, or at least most of them. I even asked the personal trainer at my gym today about that, and he said yes, definitely eat your exercise calories. If you don't, your body doesn't get enough fuel and starts storing fat in case you don't have sufficient food available. So it's important to eat your exercise calories, too.

If you burn a certain amount of calories from an exercise. MFP will tack on a certain amount of calories to compensate the amount of calories you had burned during that exercise. So that you still consume the proper amount of macro nutrients, calories for the day.
