Hi, is anybody able to tell me why the new phone app has different Macro percentage goals on different days? I have a reasonably similar diet on most days, but the percentage goals are varying. For instance, the goals for yesterday in 'Nutrition' were carbohydrates 54%, fat 24% and protein 22% but the goals for tomorrow are carbohydrates 50%, fat 30% and protein 20%. Does anyone know why they're varying?

    Did you add in workout calories?

    Yes, is it varying depending on the amount of exercise I do?

    Yes, it apparently does. I just found this out myself today!

    I believe it does based on the calories added. I actually don't add in calories from exercise, as I use the TDEE method, so I can't confirm. Sorry.

    Hold up...is the actual goal percentage changing or just the goal amount in grams?

    Yes the actual goal percentage is changing not just the amount in grams. If it was just the amount in grams changing I would have found it easier to understand. It's only since the phone app updated.
