Something's Wrong.... At my macros but under calories?

hey there,
My diary is open, so you can take a peak if you'd like. Basically my problem is that I have met all my macros today but am still 100 calories under my goal.

I am trying to gain a bit of muscle without putting on fat so accurate logging is pretty important for my diet right now. Do you think I should eat a little more to meet my calorie goal even if it mean exceeding my macros?

    Also something that you're logging may not have the correct info entered. Every gram of carbs and protein is 4 calories and every gram of fat is 9 calories.

    Things like the quest bar don't add up properly. 25 C, 20 P, 6 F is 234 Calories. I know the package says it is less, but part of that is because of the sugar alcohol and fiber. You see how your splenda is 4 grams of carbs and no calories? It's just like that. Focus on a balance of calories and macros.
