Calorie tracking

My calories are not tracking correctly. If I already have 100 active calories for the day and I exercise and gain 300 calories, it says active calories are 250, for example. Why is this?

and 50 resting calories = 300

Resting calories are always consumed. These are the calories that the body needs to maintain vital bodily functions (BMR).
Resting calories are therefore also consumed during activity.

Thank you much, that resolves my confusion! I thought they were tracked independantly
