If you go back a few pages and search for them, you will see several posts that will explain it to you. Don't forget to read the "read me" threads also.

NET calories. Please read the link in my signature: "Links in MFP you want to read again and again"

And also read "relatively light and trying to get leaner". You don't have a lot of weight to lose which tells me you are already at a healthy weight. Your focus should be on weight lifting with some cardio thrown in. And eat your exercise calories. Very, very important if you are already small.

You can also read "And email response that might Help some...". TrainerRobin really explains things well.
