Your average Net calories per day?
I am confused about this net calorie and how much I should be having a day. Should my Net calorie be a set limit like 1200 calories or does it matter? Today for example I have consumed about 1500 calories but burnt 410 at the gym which has left me with a net calorie for the day of 1100. Some days my net calories is only…
