Anybody else having this issue? Based on macros intake, I’ve noticed that the app is miscalculating calories, sometimes by a nontrivial amount.
E.g. , today I will take in 151/168/39 grams p/c/f. This should amount to 1627 calories ((151x4)+(168x4)+(39x9))=1627kc. But the app sez I’m only going to take in 1470kc.
What gives? I assume some of the food values from the app’s data base are not correct…
That and some things are rounded. That’s one of the reasons I always just track my macros, not my daily cals.
You have it. It’s a combination of rounding error and bad values in the database. Usually my calories line up pretty well but I’m with Leah. I’d make sure the macros are correct and no worry too much about the calories.
Use MyMacros+. It may not have as huge of a database, but a lot of those entries are wrong in MFP anyway.
