Help! I keep getting the normal calorie expenditure? message!

What does it mean?  Does it mean it wants me to eat more?

I just actively started using this account this last week and noticed that on my long run days when I enter my activity, a run for 2 hours or so, I get the "Normal Calorie Expenditure?"  What exactly does this mean?  Is it hinting that I'm not eating enough? 

I'm trying to lose weight and train for a marathon and am still slightly confused in how much to each and still have energy to run and still be able to lose weight. 

I've been at a plateau for 5 months and kind of thought that I might not be eating enough and your program looks like that is what it is trying to tell me.  Is that the case or is it wishful thinking on my behalf?

Please clarify the line I keep getting, I just looked and it is noon and I already have it? 

I'm still getting this message, does anyone know what it means?  Now it has minutes next to it 1, 447 which comes out to a 24 hour period? 

 see that little question mark that's underlined?  when you click on it, you can alter or input you height and activity level, and the calories indicated will be your normal calorie expenditure (how much it takes to keep you alive) before you add in any additional exercise.   mine is posted below, and it tells me that i expend 1,689 calories every day just being alive.  i will need to eat less than 1,689 calories or burn more than that to lose weight.

does that make sense/help??

Activity Minutes Calories Normal Calorie Expenditure (?) 1,440 1,689

Your "normal calorie expenditure" (the first number) is your calorie burn AT WHATEVER ACTIVITY LEVEL you listed yourself.  The second number is that number PLUS whatever activity minute/calories you added.

Please note:  when you add activities, you will not get a 1 for 1 addition to your burn calories -- you have to compensate for the number of calories your would have burned anyway.
