Why calories negative
Hi I would have thought that in my summary the calories I burned were increasing my calorie allowance but it seems to be the opposite. It’s only 10am… is it because it’s early in the day? It is subtracting my exercise from my total balance for the day… I would have thought it should be + my remaining calorie allowance

No direction
The app has no direction. I don’t need to see things not related to my goals. I thought the app worked by asking what your goals are and then telling what to do with monitoring tools. It doesn’t feel very custom if I still need to make decisions on the diet type when it knows my goals. The point of parting is having the…
