I'm using MyFitnessPal and I find the same thing- you can't take the exercise calorie allotment for what it's worth; it needs to be devalued by about 50%.

I'm about three weeks in and down 9 lb. I don't expect that rate to continue (it's typical compared to past diets; I usually get a quick start). Lots of cycling miles logged, lots of food tracked (but not as much eaten )
