Adding up each protein and carb on my food log-and when I check my macros MyFitnessPal has incorrect gram totals. What’s going on? Help

I don't know what you mean.
One thing that may be relevant is every entry on your diary screen appears to be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number, so if you're then multiplying those numbers by 4 and 9, you'll get a different calorie number than shown.
e.g. if you have an entry that has 5g of fat per 1 cup, and you enter 0.5 cups, your screen shows 3g fat, but the calories are correctly shown as 0.5 of the 1 cup entry.0 -
The macros are in 5% increments. Maybe the grams are getting rounded to fit that.0

Also look at the units. Depending on where you look, your macros are displayed as either grams or %0
