Macro totals - help

frecklesandcoffee

I've asked this twice in another thread and haven't had any response, so trying in here!

I've noticed that the macro totals are always different between MFP on my laptop and the app on my phone, initially I thought something was wrong, but now I'm wondering if the app on my phone is more accurate? As in, does it add up the actual numbers rather than doing what the website does (round up or down)?

If anyone knows I would find it really helpful, thank you!

This is your first post, so i am not sure how you can have asked in a previous thread?

the app and website are usually out by a calorie for me, if its more than that maybe its because one of them hasnt refreshed?

I'm not sure why it says this is my first post, I left two in the tech thread

I never really worry about calories, but the macros are frequently out by 3 grams, I always make sure they've synced which is what makes me wonder if the app on my phone is tallying the numbers more exactly. I know 3 grams doesn't seem like a lot, but if I'm consistently out by that it's less than ideal.

i wouldnt worry about 3 grams

I wouldn't if it were only occurring now and again, but while I'm cutting 3 grams consistently makes a difference

Some how I doubt 3 grams of anything makes a difference!
