what is the Net bit mean? food - exercise = small number

(I've not finished my workout yet and I know MFP over counts the calories burned.)

    Your MFP goal to achieve your target weight loss is 1450 without exercise

    You've eaten 1393 calories

    You've told MFP you burnt 346 extra calories in exercise

    So the amount you have netted is 1047 calories eg 1393-346

    And you still have 403 calories. To eat

    Eg your goal to eat is 1450+346=1796 calories

    You ate 1393. You (exercised) burned off 346 ... Netting you 1047 calories retained

    Calories In (1393) minus Calories Out (346), right?
