Should your macronutrients goal be set with your NET calorie goal? Or how much you are actually eating?

I only apply mine to the actual amount of calories that I'm eating. If you're eating at a deficit, I wouldn't recommend adding back exercise calories or even acknowledging the new figures that MFP projects.0
