When I log meal in a Food section of the app, and select a Boiled Egg, for example. The macronutrients indicate 5.2g of Fat and 6.2g of Protein, and a the same time on the visual percentage pipe or bar it shows 63% fat and 34% protein. Which is wrong based on the Grammys data. 

To test further I've created a custom Test-meal, with 50g fat and 50g protein, expecting to get 50% of fat and 50% of protein, but application shows 69% fat and 31% protein. 

Then I created another Test-meal-2, with 0g fat and 100g protein. And this time app showed 100% protein. This test proves that the % shown is not from a dayly intake, but rather % just for this particular food item.

Lastly - created Test-meal-3 with 50g carbs and 50g protein, and app showes correct 50%/50% distribution.

So the issue is only with fat% calculation

Hello TVas, Welcome to the Community. We know how frustrating it is trying to track nutrition accurately.

I have also noted this discrepancy in the Nutrition info pie chart. I am due for surgery and have been tracking my pre-surgery protein intake. For the past week, my protein intake has been well above my Fat, but the pie chart has always shown it the other way round!
