Hi guys-

Not new, but apparently a noob. Today I noticed my "Your Daily Goal" total at the bottom of my food entry page was at 2697, MUCH higher than I set on my goals page.

I returned to my goals page, and yep - it still says 1740.

I'm not using any sort of device to enter data (like a fitbit), it's all through the webpage with one or two food entries scanned in...

So what gives? Apparently I'm both overweight and clueless lol.

Thanks in advance!

    I believe that one at the bottom of the page is your calorie goal (1740) plus any calories you burned on this particular day from exercise, if you've already entered it. Have you entered your exercise today?

    i.e. my calorie goal is around 1400, but I burned 400 calories today in exercise so now my calorie goal for today is 1800 (I burned 400, so I can eat 400 more and still meet my target).

    Does this sound like I'm on the right track with what your experiencing?

    You need to reduce you calories intake or exercises more to meet you calorie goal.
