The macronutrient section says for today I have had

158g carbs

58g fat

96g protein

 

But if I click on nutrition facts for today it says I have had

121.7g carbs (15.1g fibre, 24.6 sugar)

177.3g fat (45.4g saturated fat)

61.8g protein.

 

Why are these so wildly different? (The nutrition facts one is wrong)

Totally agree. I gave up on using FitBit app to track my food several months ago because this issue was not resolved. I need to accurately track my fiber and iron for health reasons, and FitBit was absolutely useless. I use MyFitnessPal now, and it sounds like it has the same features you describe Cronometer.

It's ridiculous. The app gets worse by the month. Now the nutrition facts
makes no sense. And I constantly have to close and reopen the app just to
get the macros and calories to update.

I used this application, but I told myself to leave it for a while because maybe someone will fix the error that occurred, but unfortunately I saw that nothing has changed. Not long ago I started a new mushroom diet that I bought here https://qitraditions.com/collections/mushrooms/products/lions-mane, and I needed this app to follow the whole process. And I'm really sorry that it was a very good application, one of the best I've used. I think I'll try to find something else. Good luck.
