Can someone explain how the loseit! app calculate these percentages for macros?
How can the grams of fat be 21.2 but it’s 43%?

It’s probably based on calories, not grams. Fat has 9 calories per gram, whereas carbs and protein have 4 calories per gram.

43% of calories you consumed came from fat and etc

What I can gather, from 470 snack calories you ate, you ate 21.2g of fat, 30.5g of carbs, and 33.5g of protein. When making a pie diagram out of these three macros, the 21.2g of fat contributed to 43% of the 470 calories, the 30.5g carbs accounted for 27%, and 33.5g protein made up 30% of those calories.

Is it based on your personalized weight loss plan? I know for me it gives me protein and fat goals
