Exercising and calorie counting?

Afternoon.

I am new to calorie counting as I have always had an active job which kept me fit.
however I am now 15 weeks PP and wanting to loose the bay weight. I have downloaded my fitness pal and have been going off there recommendation for the amount of calories I should be eating based on little to no exercise.

On the days I exercise (sometimes a good 4/5 mile walk and/or a home workout) should I be eating a few more calories to account for the ones I’ve burned? I don’t always find the time to do proper exercise with the baby but I do it when I can.

thanks :)

And for what it's worth I am leaner than I've ever been, very low body fat, training hard, sleeping well, feeling good...and I don't restrict a single thing from my diet. Just had full blood work done and I'm healthy in every way. Nobody needs to cut anything out

No, nobody has to cut out anything major’ ad I said, limit processed food, limit sugar and artificial sweeteners Cut out vegetable oil and margarine. This isn’t even actual food you are cutting out, just toxic byproducts of the chemical
industry, which many scientists argue should not be considered fit for human consumption. That is not restrictive at all you can eat literally anything else in the world! In moderation, obviously
