It's a motivator to exercise. Basically if I slow down on my exercise the calories I'm allowed to consume would drop. Seeing my caloric intake requirements drop would make me want to get back on the exercise routine. It would help motivate me to ride the bike a few more minutes or get up and do my next exercise session when the opportunity arises.
I'm trying to lose weight too BTW. But my weekly schedule fluctuates to the point I can't have a perfectly consistent exercise schedule. So currently I just plug in some numbers in the Plan to try and duplicate the calorie burn I'm shooting for. The reminders to exercise are therefore useless to me as I have to exercise when I get the chance. This has been working for me for a good long while. I hope this becomes an option in the Noom plan feature so Noom will make daily calorie intake suggestions to me based on my actual performance instead of my projections. It would simply require Noom to extrapolate.
