on the app my macros are:
Carbs 46%
fats 34%
protein 20%
yet the grams are:
carbs 187 g
fats 60 g
protein 77 g
So if I ate less fats than protein why is the macro tracking on app showing more fats percentage wise. I’m confused. Can someone help me. Maybe I’m not understanding something.

Hello @Judy04
1g of fat contains 9 calories
1g of carbs contains 4 calories
1g of proteins contains 4 calories
So the math are correct:
187*4 + 60*9 + 77*4 = 1596 calories
Then 187*4*100/1596 = 46 %
60*9*100/1596 = 34 %
77*4*100/1596 = 20 %
