Calorie Question

I use Calorie King to track my calorie intake each day.

Today I worked out and burned 685 calories during exercise.

I ate 1341 calories, but the tracker only counts 647 of them, due to the deficit created by exercise.

Do you count the calorie loss from exercise, or should I try to stay under 1000 calories EVEN WHEN I EXERCISE?

If I had done that, before eating my "evening snack" I was at like 890 calories, which would have been good for the day. However, I was hungry after working out this evening.

I'm not a doc or a nutritionist, littlefroggi, but under 1000 cals sounds waaaay too low. The thing is, your body continues to burn calories long after you finish exercising.....that's why it's so important to incorporate exercise into your life. The more lean muscle you build, the higher your Basal metabolic rate will be (simply put, the more calories your body will burn at rest). In my opinion, 1200 - 1300 calories is ok.....much lower than that and you might mess up your metabolism. This sounds like an excellent question for your doc or nurse, BTW...
