Has anyone else noticed that the figures for daily totals don't alw ays add up - and nor do the percentages. I've also found that some foods when you look at their details say no carbs but when you add them to today's food suddenly acquire calories (squid last night ended up at 8 calories and blew my totals for the day!) Is this a problem at my end or does anyone else find this. (I've emailed fitday but they haven't replied)

Fitday uses fractions but shows whole numbers. If you have 8 oz of coffee you'll see 1g of carbs when it's more like .9g. Also, for the percentages, when carbs are the macronutrient being discusses, fitday will subtract the fiber and work the percentage from the ECC (effective carb count). For example, if you had 20g of carbs and 10g of fiber the calorie count would be 10g x 4 = 40g and not 80g (20g x 4). The 10g of fiber do not count so they are not factored in.
