    Can you open your diary? What does a typical day of meals look like for you?

    If you're over calories and under all macros, then you have at least one, and probably more, inaccurate entries logged. The food database is prone to errors due to users creating the entries, so it's best to always double-check the entries you use against nutrition labels or USDA's database.

    Your diary is not open, so hard to say what is going on. If you mean that you are over in carbs and calories, under in fats and protein, then you need to add in some protein/fat to replace the carbs. Cut back on rice/pasta/bread/cereal, add in cottage cheese/Greek yogurt/meat....

    The entries you chose must be have incorrect numbers. Focus on macros if that is what you are following.
