Hi there,
I'm new to here. I entered in my exercise for today and I didn't get a total of kcal burned, so I don't really know my net calorie for today. Could someone help me?
Thank you.

You're going to have to enter your stats (weight and such) before the system can estimate your BMR (basal metabolic rate, the amount of calories that you burn just by existing). Your profile doesn't show a recorded weight, so I'm guessing that's the problem.
Then, you go to your exercise calendar to enter any additional calories you've burned. The exercise calender will then show an estimate of how many calories you've burned overall, and it will combine that with your intake to estimate your net/deficit.

Thanks for the reply.
I did enter in my height and weight. It even says my weight at the top of the screen

Hmmm...it wasn't showing your weight in your profile, for me, until a few minutes ago. I checked this morning and again this afternoon to see if the problem had been fixed. Your weight shows now, though, as does your calories burned for the day. Must have just been a temporary glitch. I've had my ticker take upwards of a week to update after a weigh-in, for instance.

I figured out that if you haven't done your first "weigh in" even though you put in your starting weight at the beginning it will not calulate your calories burned on the exercise calendar. This appears to be a glitch.

Thanks jfrands! I was getting frustrated with this problem, but I just did a weigh-in and it updated right away.

Food selections
I do, but mostly for the barcode scan (which is awesome). I've not noticed any real difference between the two, and end up searching via google half the time.

What happened to all my records?
All the food I had entered, weigh-ins, journal entries, personal food items, etc. All the entries I've made are gone.
