Basically I've consumed my last meal for the day and my total calories from food are 2,118 which is just a bit above my daily budget. However, my twice a day workout added a -813 to the budget, so it's saying I have 751 calories left to eat for the day. Should I eat some more later or call it a day? In the past I've always set a number for the day and stuck to that number despite whatever exercise I do.

I'd honestly just call it a day.
I never look at exercise as calorie burning. I view it as something to increase strength, endurance and cardiovascular health.
I mean it DOES burn calories, obviously, but the "I worked out, so I can eat X" is a dangerous trap to fall into.
