App macro counting

Does anybody know if there is a way to combine my carbs (or fats) into one category? I set my macros to my goal, but the app isn't counting sugar or saturated fats into the macro goals. It is counting them separately. Any help is appreciated, I just want to be able to quick look at my dashboard without factoring in everything else.

    Sugar is a subset of carbs, and saturated fat is a subset of fat, so if the app isn't counting it all, there's a bug, and you should report it.

    You can choose which nutrients you want to display, though - go to https://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/diary_settings
    at least for the web version.

    It shows them separately, just like nutrition labels show them separately. Like nutrition labels, the separate entries for sugar and saturated fats are included in the total carbs and fat listed on the label.

    Yeah, it's not counting them as a whole. When I add my calories individually I come up short. I will report it as a bug, thanks guys!
