    Hi,

    You need to eat 842 calories. Right now due to your exercise calories you are only netting 443. Which is NOT okay:) That is very unhealthy.

    I hope that helps.

    No problem. Okay if your goal is 1285 and you exercised 874 and ate 1719 then (1719-874=845 this is net) Goal 1285-845=440
    440 is the amount you need to eat in oder to get back to your BMR.
    Sorry, I miscalcualted earier!

    Ok got it so always look at remaining calories at end of day and eat that. That's a whole lot left and I already ate dinner. Do u eat all ur wo calories back? Or make sure I'm at least at 1285 Bmr?

    I will never eat below 1200. Doctor's orders. So if my exercise calories put me below that than yes, I eat them:)
