    In your Goals they show Net Calories Consumed - mine is 1200
    Net Calories Consumed = Total Calories Consumed - Exercise Calories Burned

    For the report - it takes this total and your exercise calories and shows you what deficit or overage you have. For instance, if I am on a 1200 calorie per day allotment and exercise off 300 calories, I am supposed to eat 1500. If I only eat 1400, I am 100 behiind my net calories of 1200 calories per day.
