Does anyone know if there is a preference in MFP to NOT give you caloric credit for exercise? I have it set for my 1,000 calories per day, but when I enter my exercise for the day, it adds those calories into my daily allotment. I don't want that......I just want to stick to my 1,000 no matter what I do.

You might have to stop tracking exercise and just enter it in the notes instead.

Thanks.... I think I'll just stop logging my exercise activity in the program. I know when I exercise, and if I'm not giving myself calorie credits, it doesn't matter if it's in MFP.

I just ignore where it says remaining and just look at "food." I aim for approx 1000 a day. Right now mine says 832 for the day but it also says I have 883 remaining because of the 715 in exercise. So I just look at what I have consumed. If you don't put your exercise in I would think that your 5 week progress would be off, if you care at all about that.

I'm really using it only to track my calories and Protein, which is all I care about. I'm not getting too crazy with the rest (at this point). Certainly subject to change down the road :-)
