Question is... Do you eat your exercise calories ? I have 1500 calories
A day and walk about 30-45 mins a week and burn 200-400 calories! This website says to eat them but I want to lose weight and can't c that working :/

    It depends on the day, some days I eat them half back or not at all.

    Your MFP settings are ALREADY set for weight loss, so eat all your calories, including your exercise calories. For each pound per week to seek to lose, MFP factors in -500 calories, so again, your daily goal already takes weight loss into consideration.
