Calorie question - Left over net calorie

simplesolid

Quick question. I'm 6'4 383 pound and the program says that I can have a calorie balance of 2500 calories. But that seems like a lot. I have only been at for 2 days but I usually end up with 700 to a 1000 net calories left over. Is that okay? Do I need to eat those calories?

Apparently my body needs about 4000 calories not to gain or lose weight. But that seems like so much to me. I didn't think that I was eating all that before I started but I gained like 20 pounds in a couple month before starting using this site/app.

Thanks for any help.
