    That's a great question. I've noticed that on my app as well. While they are not drastic, it still an increase and I'm already having a hard enough time trying to hit all my macros.
    Best of Luck to you!

    If you add exercise calories, or have a device for that synced, your macros go up accordingly by the split you defined. It's working as intended.

    Have you logged exercise? It will add those calories (which are made up of your macros).

    I log everything and my macros go down and up arbitrarily. Or so it seems.
    There are a couple of threads on this and MFP keeps on saying it's not a bug.

    But, in my case, why do my macros keep going up or down? Arbitrarily!

    Macros in grams or percent? That makes a big difference here.

    If you have a fitness device like fitbit or Garmin or maybe even Apple (not sure about Apple) and you have it synced to myfitnesspal, your numbers will fluctuate according to the amount of activity or exercise you do throughout the day so that your calories will remain at a deficit that will translate to the weight loss Goal you requested.
