Glitch In Nutrition-Weekly Calorie?

Anyone else experiencing this. I pay attention to weekly calories and not really daily calories as I like to eat under my weekly cals during the week so I have more cals to play with on the weekend.
I always look up how many cals I have left for the week by going to the phone app, going to Sunday in my diary (my weeks are monday to sunday) then it shows me the last 7 days and how many cals I have left for the week.
So this week my cals were so far
Monday 1451
Tuesday 1450
Wednesday 1455
Thursday 1453
Friday 1700

My daily cal goal is set at 1700 (I used TDEE so do not enter my exercise)
1700 X 7 days = 11900

If you add up what I have eaten so far this week it equals
7509 with 2 days left in the week

11900-7509= 4391

So, if my app was working correctly it should tell me I have 4391 cals left to eat for my weekly goal. It instead tells me I have 198...

I just noticed this today (I generally only look at the weekly cals on the weekend as I know what I want to eat cal wise during the week). I know I did an update this week so that must have messed it up.
Has anyone been able to fix this? Should I try uninstalling and reinstalling? It's such a pain to have to manually figure it out (and on the computer it only shows you the past 7 day of whatever day you are on which is not helpful as I need to see monday to sunday). Help?

    Had this happen too. It seems to be using average daily numbers. So what you have left DAILY rather than for the whole week. It is super annoying.

    I don't think mine is doing that because I ate exactly my cal goal today and it says I have 198 cals left. Grr. very annoying!

    Just tried deleting it and reinstalling it and it didn't fix it.

    Add a quick add to the days you don't have logged.

    If I remember, before all their weird updates, it only counted days with foods logged

    I still don't think that's gonna work. It seems to be just taking random numbers as how many I have left for the week. It doesn't show how many cals I have left for the day or anything, just random amounts. It used to show cals left just fine.
    I just tried entering 1700 cals into sunday so I had the whole week with cals logged.
    It said I was 125 over my cal goal for the week, which in reality (due to a BAD eating day today) if I ate 1700 cals tomorrow I would be over by 874.

    I think it's now saying what you have ate under/over in average for the week so far. So if you have eaten say, 1800 every day mon to fri it will say 100 over weekly goal. It's really annoying because I also used to use it to know how many calories I had left for the week too!

    That is horrible! Lets all petition to make them change it back! It's so terrible having to keep calculating my remaining cals for the week!!!

    Oh I think I've just figured something out. You can change it from 'net' to 'total' if you click just above the graph (on iPhone app). And then it should tell you!
