My Macros aren't adding up.

Hi All,
MFP macro calculations are not making sense to me. The percentages aren't accurate. I was wondering if it is calculating it in a different way with other hidden factors or is this a glitch?
Thanks for the help!

Which bit are you confused with (what's not adding up or what about it isn't accurate)?0

The Total percentages shown on the pie chart are from what you've entered into MFP so far today, even if that's just 300 calories. Your Goal is what you are aiming toward.
From that info, you want to eat more protein to bring that percentage up in relation to the other two and fewer carbs in order to even things out.1 -
It's based on the total calories you've eaten. Fat has 9 calories per gram, whereas carbs and protein are only 4 calories per gram.1
