Macros confusing?

Hi All, new to myfitnesspal here... bear with me...

Is it just me or do the macro percentages in my nutrient breakdown not line up with the actual amount of each macro I have eaten? Does anyone have an explanation for this? ro6mnmqhymh3.png

    Without knowing what you've eaten its hard to say for sure... but just fyi - the macros are in grams, but the %s represent portion of total cals.

    I don't use the app but you should be able to switch from % of daily intake to grams somewhere in the settings if you would prefer to track grams of each macro.

    One gram of protein or carbs is 4 calories each, one gram of fat is 9 calories. Your macro percentages look fine to me.
