how does this make sense? is there something wrong with the app im using?

i cant add pictures but here are my macronutrients for the day in g and %:
fat: 11,8 g = 38%
- saturated fat: 3,4 g
- cholesterol: 22,2 mg
- sodium: 226,1 mg

carbohydrates: 26,2 g = 37%
- fibre: 1,8 g
- sugars: 15,2 g

protein: 17,9 g = 25%

why are the precentages higher for fat than protein when i've eaten more protein?

@teofan They are percentages of total calories. Fat has more calories per gram.

So you ate about 107 calories' worth of fat, about 105 calories of carbs, and about 72 calories of protein, for 284 calories total. 107/284 is 37%.

Fat has 9 calories per gram, while protein and carbs have 4 calories per gram.
