On my log it says I have just over 1046 net calories..I never go over my allowance and very rarely eat my exercise cals so does net cals mean I could eat them if I wanted?

Sorry for being dumb. :laugh:

    yes. At the end of the day, you want your "calories remaining" to be between -50 and 50.

    And that would still result in weight loss? I'm having a mild heart attack today seeing my calories eaten at 1800+ but my net being only 1199. I feel like I ate way too much
