I'm a bit confused!
My burn meater says that without exercise i will burn 2030 calories. I then input 270 calories that i burnt on the bike today and the burn meater now says i've burnt 2240. Where did those 30 calories go?!

those 30 were what you woud have burned if you had been inactive for the same period of time. the 2030 is based on a 24-hour day, so when you burn more for a particular time span, the sedentary burn is subtracted.
