Macro percentages vs grams

[JessicaGolden]

I’m sorry if this has its own thread, but I wasn’t able to find anything specifically to what I’m looking for.

im curious as to why the math doesn’t seem to work with my macros at end of day. Example: today my macros are

carbs 50% at 153 grams

fat 32% at 65 grams

protein 18% at 78 grams 

if my protein intake was over 10 grams above my fat intake, why is my protein percentage showing as significantly less than my fat percentage? 

im relatively new to focusing on macros to this degree, so maybe I’m missing something? Any insights are appreciated!

I think it may be expressing the macro calories as percentages rather than number of grams. 

I havent done done the math but it's 1 gram fat = 9 calories, 1 gram carb = 4 calories, 1 gram protein = 4 calories
