    The common consensus seems to be - keep your NET above 1200.
    But only if you really need to to feel energized and feeling good, IMO.

    Net should be between 1000-1400 calories every day. I usually keep it to 1100-1300 tho

    Are you using a HRM? If your using a readout on a machine or on this site and you eat all your exercise calories you will probably eating to many...

    It is dumbed down for you. Go to your home page (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/). Just under the advert at the top it says something like "123 calories remaining"

    You are aiming to get that number to 0
