tracking confusion: macros don't add up to calories

yapetron

I'm wondering what's going on with my tracking, and if I've done something wrong or if there is a glitch in how MFP calculates calories/macros?
I have my goals set to 2000 calories/day, with 40% carbs, 30% fat and 30% protein. At the end of the day, sometimes I've reached my calorie goal exactly, but have gone over on all three macros. How is this possible?

Sounds like you might be choosing one or more incorrect entries from the database.
