    Net calories are what you actually ate minus your exercise for the day.

    Calories are just what you actually ate.

    As far as I can tell... hope that helps!

    They say it's important to eat those calories.
    I've always ate mine, and have lost.
    Your body could be trying to readjust.....cause if you weren't eating them and working out...you were probably having some "starvation" issues. Ya know your body freaked cause it didn't have enough to support normal functions and work outs....
    When I first started I didn't lose for a while simply because of that adjustment, then my body caught on.
