    Did you set your activity level to NOT include exercise? (That's the way MFP intends.)

    If so, then yes. Eat your exercise calories.

    personally i do not eat back my workout calories. i feel like it sort of undoes what i just did. but you still can, it will just cause weight loss at a slower rate

    It will cause initial weight loss at a slower rate. After a few weeks when your body gets used to you starving it, you will stop losing weight entirely. At this point, the people who eat their exercise calories will lose more.
