According to NET CALORIES of total taken in minus total calories burned,
total net calories was TOTAL-IN MINUS 700 =1480. 
SOURCE       CALORIES
Breakfast      2L
Lunch           L
Dinner         2L+200
Snacks         2L-120
Exercise       -700
Total NET     1480

highlight%282L%2BL%2B%282L%2B200%29%2B%282L-120%29-700=1480%29


Lunch calories, 300
Snack calories 480
