In F2 try this formula:

=D2-E2/24

and format the cell as time.

Alternatively, enter a proper time in E2 (i.e. 1:00:00) and then you
can just do:

=D2-E2

As you have it, you are entering decimal hours in E2, so if you only
took 45 minutes for lunch one day then you will have to enter this as
0.75

Hope this helps.

On the column that has the 1 hour for lunch .. what would I format that as?

For example here is my spreadsheet .. I can't figure out the formula for
