Total calories or net calories?

weezemardell

Sorry I’m sure this has been asked a million times! My calorie goal is 1220. Last week my total average calories per day were 1550 and my net calorie average was 1176. Am I doing this right? I’m assuming I’m trying to hit the net calorie goal? Am running 3-4 times a week, 5’2 and 163lbs

Yes, you want to get as close to your *net* calorie goal as possible. Some days you might be a bit under, some a bit over-as long as it averages out over the week you’re fine.
