net calories
Energy balance result
Net calories is the balance of calories consumed minus calories burned through metabolism and physical activity.
In weight management, it represents the actual energy your body retains: I ran five miles to offset the pizza, so my net calories weren't too bad.
A negative net calorie count indicates a caloric deficit; positive means surplus.
