Feedback on Macronutrient Ratio Calculation Method
JiYoung Seo
I’ve noticed that the app calculates macronutrient ratios based on the total grams of carbs, protein, and fat consumed, rather than the caloric contribution of each. However, standard nutritional guidelines define macronutrient distribution as the percentage of total caloric intake each macronutrient provides (4 kcal/g for carbs and protein, 9 kcal/g for fat).
Would you consider updating the ratio calculation method to reflect this standard? It would improve accuracy and better align with dietary tracking practices used by nutrition professionals.
