"calories remaining" question

Yes the remaining calories means you have that many calories left that you can eat for that day. The total number of calories you have to eat per day is calculated based on your goals, your age, your sex etc

You want to be close to zero - give or take maybe 50 each way. When you're looking at the weekly net calorie report (only available through the mobile app), you want to be at or slight below zero for the week. So don't go over EVERY day, but 1 day over 1 day under will work itself out.

Thanks for the input. I am having a hell of a time eating all the calories they tell me to eat. I usually end the day with several hundred calories remaining. I have never been anywhere near zero, and when it comes to the net calories, other than a couple days, they are usually around 1000. Which is why I am so confused! I thought I had a handle on things, but if my net is supposed to be zero, I am apparently way off!

No no no. Your net is supposed to be AT LEAST 1200. Eat a little more. Peanut butter, cheese, chocolate and avocados are good, calorie-dense foods.

I am still sort of confused by this process. When it says that I have _____ calories remaining, am i supposed to keep eating until I have eaten all the calories? Also, I looked at the "net calorie report" Do I want to have higher net calorie numbers or lower?

Thanks!

The XXX amount of calories remaining. Is how much calories left that you need to eat in order to reach the proper daily amount of nutrients.

The net calories is how much you've actually consumed. But if you exercise then those calories burned will be subtracted from your daily consumption of calories. Which will give you a new total of calories consumed.

best to be within 100 calories of the goal, either over (in the red) or under (in the green). A larger variance either way will negatively impact your results in the long run. Remember -- it's the long run that matters.

you need to eat to lose weight. God's little joke on us all. If you are a woman, you need to eat at least 1200 calories a day. If you work out you need to eat the workout calories plus the 1200. Although, you don't have to. You can eat 1/2 the workout calories back, but always, always, always, eat at least 1200.

Try eating every 3-4 hours utilitzing snacks. If you keep stoking your engine your metabolism will keep burning. I know how hard it is to eat so much when you're not used to, but make good choices, and eat! Read my blog, it might help you.
