I know I went a little over the 1500 yesterday, but does working out mitigate the going over? I have an Apple Watch to track calories burnt. According to that, total calories was 2670.

Going over one day isn’t going to kill your diet. Personally, I pay more attention to my weekly limit (in LoseIt, you can go to the weekly summary from your dashboard).
I don’t count exercise calories against my calories eaten personally because it’s inaccurate. But I also recognize that some days I’m going to be hungry, and some days I’m going to go out and be social. This means that some days I go over. But at the end of the day, it’s more important I stick to my diet long term than that I stick to it perfectly.

Watches are normally wildly inaccurate and show you a number that’s much higher than accurate. I would try to disregard all walking/exercise calories unless you’re seriously working out multiple days a week. You can set it to not subtract those calories. Generally, people don’t lose weight when they “eat back” exercise calories since they’re overestimated a lot of times. Otherwise I would eat at your 1500 as much as possible. 1 day isn’t going to change much. Drink a lot of water the next day and start fresh!
