Can someone help me figure this out? I have custom goals but the MFP's math doesn't seem to check out.

My macros for today are
108 protein
94 carbs
50 fat
(no alcohol)

1g of protein is 4 calories, so protein calories today are 432.

Same for carbs, so a total of 376.

1g fat = 9 calories, total 450

Which is a grand total of 1258, right? MFP shows me a total of 1346. Where are those calories coming from?

    Thanks! I've double checked the entries and they seem to be accurate. So maybe rounding but nearly a hundred calories seems like a lot.
