    I think your net should be 213 or something but I'm terrible at math - but either way sounds like its showing incorrectly.

    Corrected - I'm an idiot. Ignore whatever the hell I just said.

    Log out and log back in. If it isn't correct right when you get back in try removing what you added (I know its a pain :( ) and re-entering it.

    Be easier if I could actually see your diary. Did you enter in exercise? If so, exercising gives you calories back to eat so yes your net would be off if it was that. But if it's just food and say you've entered 1000 cals so far in food, your net would be 1000; if not somethings off.
