Is this a bug in the app - seems that fats are shown incorrectly in the chart?

    What do you think it should look like? The red portion represents fat, which is over 60% and therefore most of the wheel should be red? Am I missing something?

    They just don't have a goal. It's not saying don't eat any, it's just not telling you how much to eat.

    Re the OP - I don't see the issue? 62% of the calories come from fat.

    Looks correct to me. The % is in calories, the number is in grams. There are 9 calories in a gram of fat (as opposed to 4 grams for carb/protein). Therefore 18.8x9=169.2/269=62% fat. Is that the question?
