I have noticed that my weekly averages for my macros are not adding up to the daily goals seem fine but doesnt add up for weekly average.also the dates shift delending on which day i look at. For example this week should be 3-9th feb but if i go to look at my plan for the 4th feb the weekly dates switch to the 4-10th feb and so on. Finally the next weeks averages are filled in even though i havnt planned anything on for the coming week

Better to contact MFP's helpdesk - this sounds like a bug they need to sort out.0

The day-shift is correct behavior, maybe, depending on how you have this set:
I'm not sure which value is the default, because I can't remember if I changed it. I don't think I did, but not sure.
The other problems you're having are not happening to everyone - they're not happening to me - so contacting MFP support through the Help function is the way to go. Be sure to respond to any emails they send you.

If you’re forwarding to include future days that aren’t logged yet, then of course those are affecting your averages.
I generally log several days in advance. If I looked forward to include those days as well, then I’d have really wonky numbers because the food is already logged, but of course no exercise has happened yet.
Taking averages of future dates is futile.
If you don’t like the dates being averaged, just scoot your dairy back to the date you want to start at. It just takes 7 day averages from the date you’re on.0 -
I'm going to change what I said, because if I mess with it long enough, I'm seeing some of what you're seeing.
I have nothing logged the week of Feb 19-25, zero food, zero exercise. Here's two days near that week (the reason for 2 will become obvious later):
Wednesday Feb 19:
Thursday Feb 20:
When I click on the Nutrition link (pie chart) at the top of the diary for Weds Feb 19, I should get nutrition starting on Wednesday the 19th, and it says 19-25, but the days of the week on the calories tab bar chart start on Thursday. Also, it shows calories for Thursday, and I just showed that both the 19th (which should be the first day) and the 20th (which is the Thursday of that week) have nothing logged:
If I click over to the Nutrients tab, there are non-zero average nutrients, even though there's no food logged for that whole week in my diary:
So, yeah, I think there's a bug. Not sure I care, because I don't look at the future . . . but if it's messing up those days, is it messing up actual fully current, filled out weeks, too? I haven't had the patience to check yet.
FWIW, based on the foods listed at the bottom the Nutrients tab in the screen shots above, I think it's picking up data from yesterday, Thursday February 13, because that's the only day in a long time where I have that particular combination of specific foods on the same day (tempeh, mujadara, pretzel, broccoli, eggs).
I do see that it's always starting on a day of the week that doesn't match the starting date at the top, and isn't the day of the week I started with in the diary. Also, when it tells me it's looking at Feb 11-17, only the 11th through the 13th have actual food or activity in my diary, so I don't know where the other days of data are being pulled from. Here's the bar chart showing bars on days that have nothing logged:

I have been reporting this exact problem with the hlpdsk for over a week now and they opened a bug ticket but closed my support ticket. It's still happening on my Android.0
