Question re calorie balance

Ho starting today! ! I use my fitness pal and do running which it balances with my calorie intake. So my question is do I eat 1400 calories and my exercise is on top of that or do I reach 1400 total. Does that make sense??!!

Don't eat back your exercise calories - they're a bonus.
