    Yes, negative net calories is an extremely bad idea. Having said that, I'm guessing you're not burning anywhere near what you think you are. Burning 1200 calories in 75 minutes, that would be like running approximately 12 miles in the same time frame. That's a 6:15/mile pace for 12 miles! I could see that burning up to 1200, MAYBE. Not zumba or whatever random class you're doing. Maybe half that at best.

    I completely agree with the above. You would need to have a heart rate monitor to more accurately determine your calorie burn. There's no way that Zumba would burn 1200 calories in 75 minutes.
