    I think it's 52% of the food you have eaten throughout the day have been carbs. Not 52% of your total allowance.

    Your goal is 1200 and 150 g carbs is 50% of that.

    Apparently you ate 110 g carbs and that was 52% of the calories you did eat, so you only ate 846 calories.

    What that means is that you are WAY undereating. If just a day, no biggie, but you don't want to do this regularly.

    What is also means is that you only ate 406 calories in protein and fat total, which is not good.

    [Edit: I'm assuming a finished day. If this is only a partial day, you are on track with carbs.]

    So today you've only eaten about 850 calories so far, right? Once you've eaten 1200 calories, if you've eaten 150g of carbs, the pie chart will show it at 50% of intake.
