The calories consumed compared to daily target insight always indicates that I consumed almost double what my target is. This is also roughly double what I actually consumed. For example: if my target is 1900 calories and I consumed 1850 calories the insight may say that I consumed 1593 calories more than my target. That number changes but I can't find a correlation to either the target or the actual consumed values. Any suggestions/advice would be appreciated. Other than having the insight be useful this isn't that important since I can do the math myself.

I finally figured out what is happening. Each day the insight adds the calories consumed during the previous 2 days and then subtracts the calory target from that total. There doesn't seem to be a good reason to do that. As long as that number stays below the target I know I'm averaging less than the target. It would be nice if the app did the math and made it a 2 or 3 day rolling average.
