Hi! I've set my macros to 40/30/30. I've been tracking for 3 days and every day my fat % comes out to 43% calories from fat or more! I'm not eating more fat than I'm accustomed to when eating paleo zone. Am I tracking incorrectly or reading the graph wrong?? I don't understand how 1 tsp oil, 3 eggs and 1 T mayo comes out to almost half my calories when I'm eating 1900 calories a day. I'm also trying to track macros now rather than just eat paleo or zone. Any advice or help is appreciated. ☺

    Sounds like you are selecting bad entries, the database does have them.
    1 tsp oil = 40 calories
    3 raw eggs = 216 cal
    1tbsp mayo = 100 cal
    Total = 356 calories, maybe a little higher or lower depending on the size of the eggs and brand of mayo, but nowhere near 950.
    If you open your diary, someone might spot the problem.
