hi guys

so i have calculated my protein, carbs and fat in my diat and as u guys know if u want to calculate them u do :

protein multiplyed by 4 =
carbs multiplyed by 4 =
fats multiplyed by 9 =

etc etc..

but my total diat calorie says : 2011 calories while my carbs prot and fat says 1829.2 calories

so i was wondering where did the extra calories came from?

    Sometimes when people enter foods on MFP they don't enter all the macros, they only enter calories and fat. Run down the columns and look for erroneous zeros. Check all entries against the packet or the Self database before you use them the first time, then only use ones you know are correct.
