Different calorie number after adding up grams

I added up the carbs, protein, and fat calories and I'm coming up with a higher calorie count than the daily total is showing.

Daily Total: 2598
My count: 2745
(271 carbs, 278 protein, 61 fat)

Am I doing something wrong in my calculations or is there a problem here?

    I counted it for ya. I am getting the same as MFP 2598. Seems like everything is fine you may have just added the wrong number or something.

    I had the same problem. Someone entered something wrong into the database. people usually get the total calories right for 1 serving but then *kitten* up how many carbs, fat, an prot.

    So it's probably safer to believe the calorie count shown and somewhat discount the c/p/f count?

    Yes I would say so. You can always double check if u want to.
