If I don't eat back the extra exercise calories allotted, is that bad for any reason? Now that my body is used to a set # of calories, I just don't feel like eating more just because I exercised. I play 2-3 hours of tennis a day.

Hi there,

so you found this old thread. Did you look at the video at the top? Because it explains it quite well.

The app doesn’t appear to be recalculating extra calories based on my exercise? What am I doing wrong. Also where is the barcode feature?

Go to "Help" from any page and file a Support Request for the exercise not getting added.

Alternately you can go to "Help > Troubleshooting"

The barcode for food is only for paid memberships (Premium)

Are you looking in the strength or cardio section? Strength exercises only give calories when logged in the cardio section as I'm sure has been mentioned further up.
