Hi, @Julieeady! There are two different things you are looking at. First, you have your calories "left." This value will update through the day as you input your steps and food you have eaten. It tries to predict what you will do during the rest of the day and update your total accordingly.

 

Second, you have your "over, in the zone, under," which, until the end of the day is just another indication of how you're pacing yourself with respect to your activity during the day. At the end of the day, it's an indication of how you did with meeting your goal for the day (calorie deficit). "In the zone" means you met your goal within 40 calories, I believe.

 

So, you can be at or under your total calories for the day (per the first one), but if you ate them all in the morning, for example, until the end of the day, your other meter would indicate that you were over. At the end of the day, it will finally show you are either under or in the zone, whichever the case may be.
