So I have about 100 calories left for the day, but apparently I've gone way over on all my macros! Whaaaat? If this a thing?

    I use the protein & fiber goals as minimums, then ignore fat & carbs.

    It's the sushi entry. 324 calories, 118 grams of carbs? 118 grams of carbs is 472 calories by itself, not including the fat and protein content listed.

    Yes...I discovered this...you have to check the macros when you add the food to your diary...it is mostly supplied by us and may not be perfect.
    Good luck with your goals!

    thanks to all of you! removed the sushi entry for another "generic" one. Similar calorie count -- insanely different split!
