Your caloric goal is increased when you add exercise. For example, if your caloric goal is 2000 calories and you track exercises on which you have burned 200 calories, the app will increase your caloric requirement for the day to 2200 calories to compensate for those calories burned.
Because of that, exercise should be used with caution, it can increase your goal too much, sabotaging your progress. Make sure that you have really burned the calories that you add as exercises, many apps overestimate the calories we burn on physical activities.
If your goal is to lose weight, we do not recommend adding exercises at all (by adding exercise, the app lets you consume more calories to compensate for the calories burned, this might go against the goal of a person who wants to lose weight).
One last thing to be aware of is that the app already includes exercise in the caloric requirement calculated for you. Those exercises added are the ones that you select on the “Activity level” of your profile. So if you have selected that you are going to the gym 3 times per week, do not add those 3 sessions of gym manually because you will end up adding the calories burned twice (one added by you and another added by the app based on your activity level). Therefore, you should only add exercises that you do as an extra to those selected on your activity level.
