Why is Macros data different to Nutrients data?

I am day 3 of using this app. I added my breakfast from a cafe and the Macros tab says I have used my Carbs and Fat total for the day. However the Nutrients tab says that I haven’t reached Carbs and Fat totals for the day. Which tab is correct?

    I think you're comparing (1) a data presentation that just breaks down the percentages of the macros in the food you've logged so far for that day with (2) a data presentation that says whether you have reached the daily goal for each macro as expressed in number of grams .

    For example, if you've logged 500 calories for the day, and they happen to be broken down among the macros in the same percentages as your daily goals, the first data presentation will look like you've met your goals. But if your daily calorie is 2000 calories, the second data presentation will show that you're only a quart of the way to your macro goals in number of grams.
