The graph seems wrong!

Since the update, I can't seem to use the graph properly :-( I used to eat a slight deficit/exercise more and the graph would tell me how many calories under I am for the week (if I wanted a treat and to still lose weight I could work it into my weekly plan). However, I now find that if I don't exercise, the figure for calories under is very low but as soon as I insert some exercise (even if it's only 200 calories burned) then that figure shoots up to the thousands. It doesn't make sense! I don't know where I stand anymore.
Does anyone else have this problem?
I'm now having to take the figure given for calories for the week and use a separate calculator to work out minus my exercise.
E.g. It says I've eaten 9300 calories this week which is around 1328 calories a day. But I've also burned 2000+ calories in the week so that figure should either be lower or my calories under should be higher/at least consistent!

Yeah it doesn't make any sense. All the other "new" graphs work ok. But the weekly average one isn't as good as the old one. IMO0

Useless! I guess I'll have to keep tracking and re-calculating myself0 -
Are you checking the net calories tab, that one shows the correct numbers for me?0
