Tell us what’s happening: I have been on this for some time now

 const consumedCalories = breakfastCalories + lunchCalories + dinnerCalories + snacksCalories;
  const remainingCalories = budgetCalories - consumedCalories + exerciseCalories;
  const surplusOrDeficit = remainingCalories < 0 ? 'Surplus' : 'Deficit';
  output.innerHTML = `<span class="surplusOrDeficit .toLowerCase()"></span>`;
}

I have been trying this but the code is not working:

output.innerHTML = `<span class='surplusOrDeficit.toLowerCase()'></span>`;

this is going to be exaclty what you have written… unless you use the template literal feature to interpolate code in it! That means that you need to have the code inside ${} so that it is evaluated before being added to the string

I’ve edited your code for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').
