So I am new to MFP and have a dumb question.... I understand that we receive extra calories if we exercise, but that is what I'm confused about. In order to lose weight isn't important to exercise and cut your calories? Why do we get added calories if we exercise? I exercise 5 days a week and cosume around 1400 calories a…
