Don't understand calculations of Macro percentages

henriklynggaard

Hi

I am using the newest version of the android app, but when I am looking at the Macro pie chart and percentages i cannot get the numbers to match.



Carb 61g 18%
Fat 81g 54%
Protein 94g 28%



Using simple math there is no way fat can have a higher percentage than protein. I doubt such a basic thing would be a bug in the app, so I guessing I am missing some basic understanding

But what??

Each gram of protein or carbs = 4 calories
Each gram of fat = 9 calories.

Ah, it is percentage of calories not grams.

That wasn't clear to me the way it is presented. I mean the absolute value that is presented is grams not calories would be nice if it printed both at least

thanks for the quick reply

I've been confused about that too. Thank you for the explanation!
