Net Calorie Reports?

Can anyone help me in understanding how to interpret the "net calorie" report? I'm assuming the net calories means the calories I have consumed after calories burned during exercise. For example, if I ate 1500 calories and burned 500 during exercise that would mean a net of 1000?

    If you goal is 1500, you should always take in 1500. So if you are burning off 500 then you are actually eatting 2000 calories... but that is good! It keeps you at the right level and keeps your body working right.

    Don't know if that is the answer, but hope it helps. I get so confused as soon as numbers are involved! Math was never my thing!
