Important Notes
- Calories Burned with Exercise: The note in the screenshots indicates that calories burned through exercise will be added to your daily Calorie Budget. This means if you burn additional calories through physical activities, these will be accounted for in your daily allowance, which helps maintain a consistent net calorie intake.
- Projected Target Date and Weekly Rate: Even though you are setting a fixed calorie budget, the system will still calculate and show your projected target date and current weekly rate based on the fixed calorie intake and your weight loss goal.
