Remaining calories confusion

Hi there.
So i've been tracking my calories for almost 1 year now. Overall i've been doing it pretty good but today i noticed a so called "issue". MFP app tells me that i have 200 kcal remaining (to be eaten) even though i reached (even exceeded a bit) my macronutrient goals. I thought that it has to do with the remaining sugars/fat/fiber but those are in check too.

Where does those remaining calories come from?
I guess i'll have some glasses of wine tonight
(it's saturday anyway, hehe).

You're probably issuing some bad database entries.

Oh, damn, you are right. I logged in some of those homemade recipes (no other alternative) but i didn't notice that it screws up the calorie counting.
Thank you, sir!0
