Correct for Calorie Rounding

JanielDanuary

Has there been any consideration to correcting for calorie rounding? Maybe have the calories calculated from the macros rather than labels to get the true calories. Often the calorie count can be off by up to 100 calories within a day. (700 a week! This can be problematic for people watching calories and not just macros) this would be great for increasing tracking accuracy.

Also allow a custom input number for the activity multiplier for calories?

Hi there,

That's a great suggestion! Keep in mind though, the macronutrient values will also be rounded on the nutrition label.

Your best option would be to use generic options from NCCDB and USDA in place of packaged products when you can.
