Net calories?

When I calculate how much I've eaten, should I look at net calories, or just my total intake? For instance, my net right now is 538 calories, but my total intake is around 1000. I try to eat 1200-1400 net calories every day, but would it be better for me to not pay attention to net and just focus on my intake?

Sorry if this is a stupid question or if it has been asked a lot before...

    It has been asked a lot - but that's OK.

    The short answer is - pay attention to your net calories. Try to get the "calories remaining" number as close to 0 as possible.

    If you want to know more, read the pinned topics at the beginning of this section and you'll find heaps of info.
