Weight loss projections... Huh?

Something I've noticed in the app is counterintuitive to what I would expect.

If I complete my daily log and say I'm 400 calories under my daily goal the app is saying in x weeks I'll be 208lbs. . If I add in more calorie burn and resubmit the log it tells me im going drop lower to 203lbs in x weeks... How can this be? . Is this a bug in the app or am I missing something?

    its just a projection of what could happen if you ate those foods,calories,macros,etc every day and did that much exercise(if you do) but I found its not correct. I still am not at goal 4 years later but mine could be due to my metabolic issues.

    Its not a bug in the app. They basically say if you eat and exercise like this EVERY DAY for the next 5 weeks, this is what your weight could look like. The number it projected became lower after adding calories burned because you created a bigger calorie deficit for that day.
