    How big is the difference? If it's small it might just be a rounding error. If it's bigger then check the nutrition of the food you eat again. Most of the database is user entered, and people enter all sorts of stuff that is just plain wrong.

    A potential cause could be fiber which in the US is counted as carbs but has no/fewer calories than regular carbs.

    It’s almost 100 calories off, so when I end my day it’s always saying I didn’t comply which is annoying because I mean what can I add that’s only calories also? As an example my protein is 85 grams, carbs 85grams and fats 36 grams so with the math of the 4, 4 & 9 cal for each I should be adding up and it doesn’t
