I'm an athlete that burns an extra 5-10k calories per week — I'm looking for some kinda report that will show me daily, weekly, monthly deficit and surplus calories. Currently, all I could do is compare Calories Consumed and Burned. In other words, I'd like to see at a glance, how much under or over my calories consumed are, after exercise calories are added.
Thanks!

    In the food diary (in the app) you can tap on the pie chart icon at the top, which gives you more info.
    There is a daily and weekly view (no monthly view) for macros, nutrients and calories. In the calories view, you can toggle between total and net calories.

    Well it's been about 5 months since I originally asked this question. I've been trying to use Lietchi's above response, but It's still not what I need. The above report states over or under "Weekly Goal" which I assume is my set base / basil calories — not my actual required calories that include activity calories.

    I need to know exactly how many calories per week or day, that I went over or under my requirement. Base calories + workout calories - calories consumed = deficit or surplus calories.

    Thanks,
    Frank

    It's there 🙂 there are two views you can switch between:

    Net calories takes into account exercise/activity: there, the 'weekly calories above/under goal' is correct (and you're seeing your average daily net calorie intake, instead of your actual intake):
