What's the difference between calories consumed and burned, and how are they calculated?

Calories consumed, as the name suggests, encompass everything we eat and log in the app. Their total includes calories from meals planned for the day by the dietitian. On the other hand, calories burned refer to the average number of calories burned during a workout, calories burned from steps, as well as calories from the so-called basal metabolic rate, which are the calories we need to consume but are burned by the body for basic life functions. This can also include calories from activities you add additionally.
