    If you ate 1200 and burned 314 of those calories through exercise, you've taken in a net 886 calories...(1200-314=886)

    It is the final input of calories inside your body (after calories get placed in whatever you burn through exercise essentially cancels them out, thus providing net calories). That was my first question on here lol.

    Ur net is supposed to be 1200. Basically u need to eat more. It all depends on if ur hungry tho. If u are eat if not don't worry about it
