Default Questions about fitday, carbs, calories...

OK, so I'm really going to try and start using FitDay everyday so I can see where my calories and carbs and stuff are coming from. Today wasn't that great of a day, but I guess it could have been worse.

Here is what I had today:

LC Thickburger from Hardee's
1/2 of soft taco from Taco Bell
1 inside of soft taco from Taco Bell
2 servings of Dreamfields pasta with homemade alfredo
chicken with bacon and mushrooms in sour cream sauce

According to FitDay this is how it breaks down for the day:

Calories: 3425
Net carbs: 36 g (if the Dreamfields is REALLY 5 g per serving!!!)
% cal from fat: 69
% cal from carb: 4
% cal from protein: 27

Also according to FitDay my calories burned for the day (basal + seated work lifestyle + NO exercise) is 4820. That is a difference of 1395 calories which I guess is good. I also have consumed 262 grams of fat!!! I never realized how much that is!!!

Anyways, what I want to know from everyone is this:
  1. How do those percentages look for calories from fat, carb, protein?
  2. How accurate do you guys find the calories burned on FitDay? It seems a bit high to burn 4820 calories in a day without exercising.
Thanks a bunch!!!
