Short answer: no. Hoot does not automatically adjust your daily calorie target based on how many calories you burn.
How Hoot Sets Your Calorie Target
When you set up your plan, Hoot calculates your daily calorie target using your body stats, your goal (lose, maintain, or gain), and your general activity level. Your activity level is factored into the math upfront -- so your target already accounts for how active you typically are.
