Understanding Active Calories vs. Activity Calories

I have a hunch, but I am just looking for confirmation that I am understanding correctly. I understand that Active Calories are equal to the total calories minus the resting calories. I am just not seeing the actual working out of it in the math shown in the images.

In the Actual activity I burned an even 800 calories on my run, but my Active calories for the purposes of GC are 693.

Is this because it is also deducting the resting calories from the time I was doing the activity, but not explicitly showing that? If so I am assuming that in the roughly 93 minutes I was out on my run, I would have burned 107 resting calories so 800 -107 gives the 693.

Looking on the calorie details on the phone it is then taking the new active number and adding that to the resting calories for my current total, and that all makes sense as well.

Am I reading it right, or missing something?
