I logged my food for the day and noticed that the calculation of macros is wrong, the percentages: carbs should be at 43%, not 33%, etc.

Anyone knows how to fix this?

I’m having the same issue, particularly with iron and vitamin percentages.  This after scanning the barcode and comparing what the fit bit app documented for the percentages.  I found an old thread that said this issue was fixed as of July of 2022 I believe, requiring an update to the latest app version at the time.  My version is much more current so something broke again.   Ex- a Chiquita banana was showing as giving me over 1000% of my vitamin A for the day.

The same thing is happening to me. I added a Dole banana on the desktop version and set the Vitamin C to 17%. When I log that same banana with the iOS app, it shows the banana as having 1,020% Vitamin C, as well as 36% Iron vs. the 2% that I put in.

What is going on here?
