Set goals and daily nutrition goals not the same?

My set macro/calorie goals are:
1,695
C 127g/P 170g/F 57g
But when I click on "nutrition" for my daily log, it says goals are:
C 175g/ P 233g/ F 78g
No wonder I'm struggling! Why is it doing this?

When exercise calories are added in, they're distributed across your macros in the same percentages you have set for your base calories. Since you earned 635 exercise calories, 30% of them went to carbs, 40% to protein, and 30% to fat.1

You logged exercise which increased your calories to account for that activity. Your macros are what make up your calories so those would also increase proportionately.0

Is there a way to stop it from doing that? I don't "eat back" my exercise calories so I'd rather them not be factored in at all. I use the free version btw0
