Total v.s. Active Calorie Expenditure from Garmin

Can I eat my calories burned?
maybe a stupid question, but I’m new here. If my calorie goal is 1500, but I exercise and burn 1000 calories (I run long distances) and the total now increases to 2500cal, am I “allowed” to eat over and above the 1500cal…? Not the full 1000cal amount of course, but just somewhere in between?
