Almost a 200 calories discrepancy
The total calories don't match the macro calculation at all! The discrepancy is of almost 200 calories. I dislike this intensely. What should I aim for then?

Not sure what you are looking at to get this? If you are looking at the diary, click the “consumed” macros graph, and it will show you a breakdown of the macros. I prefer to swipe left and look at the “targets,” it breaks down the macronutrients in relation to my daily targets/goals. Hope this helps.

Yes, I can see my consumed macros in grams, but when I add them all up, the total calories are always higher than what is listed under calories consumed, by about 200 every time. I read that this is due to some other data the Cronometer uses, but it is very confusing. I will have to add my macros in my own to know the total calories at the end of the day

Look under the “imported” group on your diary to see if there is a 200 calorie item logged. If you have other apps, or devices (like an Apple Watch), items will be imported like medications or supplements that may have calories.
