Macro %s wrong? Or is it me?

‎12-13-2019 13:54

The macros in the app show:

23% (45g) carbs

39% (33g) fat

38% (74g) protein

 

But just looking at the grams, it seems like my protein would be closer to 50%, and fats would be my least %. 

 

Could someone point me in the right direction?

I haven't logged food so I'm not sure about this, but it sure looks like

the percentages are by calories, not grams.  Figure carbs and protein each about 4 cal/gm and fats 9 cal/gm; that makes the % come out right.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.

Ok. Thank you, just now scratching the surface with macros and this app. 

 

Thank you very much!
