Difference between net and total calories

sdavis484

What's the difference - does total include exercise and net doesn't? I have way too hard a prob with this.

Net is after you deduct exercise calories, yes.

Eta: this is my net for the week, which accounts for exercise calories.

Well, not sure why it won't add photo, sorry.

Net is how many calories you've eaten after you deduct exercise calories. So if you eat 1800 calories, but burned 300 from exercise, your net is 1500.

Your MFP goal is a net goal, not a total calorie goal, since it varies depending on your exercise.
