So If I burned 626, and I have eaten 1005, and my allowance is 1500, how much more do I get to eat? 495 more? What do I do?

    It says how many you have remaining at the bottom of your diary.

    1121 more - exercise cals plus the balance of your regular daily cals. If you put everything into your log it will tell you this automatically.

    I just don't know how far I can trust the log....

    The log is as accurate as the data you put into it. It will do the sums correctly. If you overestimate your burn or underestimate your calories, though, it can't help you.

    I always base my burned calories on what my exercise machine tells me.
