    That looks like the correct screen to me (though yours looks different than mine does; probably something with an update...). Did you recently start logging?

    Okay - I updated my phone and checked again. On that screen that you're looking at, do you have a "total" and "Net" option towards the top of the screen? It looks like you're on the "Total" one and if you switch to the "Net" one, then scroll down, you should see the number of calories you have left for the week. I'm not sure if the math is done correctly on the "Total" tab (and I've only ever used the "Net" one anyway).

    No. You're nearly 10,000 calories under your weekly goal. Your weekly goal on MFP already includes a before-exercise deficit (assuming you told MFP you wanted to lose weight, and the other information you gave MFP was correct). So your weekly deficit at this point is 10,000 calories plus your goal deficit (which is 3500 calories X the number of pounds you told MFP you wanted to lose per week).

    You should be aiming for the 2270 daily, or averaged throughout the week. Netting less than 1500 a day can lead to health concerns in the long run, including muscle loss.
