    I am new as well and I had a question regarding my calorie totals...if my daily looks like this:
    Total: 1,122 and normal daily goal without exercise is 1240 and with exercise it is this Your Daily Goal: 1,692
    Remaining: 570
    for my calories after i enter my exercise for the day does that mean that i need to eat an additional
    570 calories to lose the weight or maintain the weight?
    Thanks for any help
