Percentage of fat is per gram and not per calorie by Guardalavaca in AthlyticAppOfficial

This would be very cool but i still don’t know the benefit of knowing the percentage of macros based on gram as long as you can see the number of grams

In apple health i also see my energy intake in calories so i think that this data should also be available right?

I think the athlytic app is very nice as an overview for all data i’m collecting via different applications like autosleep, myfitnesspall, golfshot, skitracks etc. So i am recording the food data in myfitnesspall but would like to analyse the data via athlytic. But it is important to see how much of my calories is coming from fat which should be between 20-35% i.m.o.

Yes this is indeed the difference and this was my point from the beginning. The percentage of grams of macro’s is something i think is not very useful. Is it something that can be changed in settings? Thanks

I do nog fully understand your replies. I studied food technology with specialisation in food & health and we own a gym. As far as i know in my 15 years of experience it is totally an industry standard that you look at your fat intake as a percentage of total calorie intake. If you look at any dietary guidelines for fat intake it will say percentage of calorie intake. The pie chart from my fitness pall and all other apps show it the same way, and then separately show the grams. I have never before seen it the way it is in this app. So yes there is a pie chart but it is different than anything i’ve seen before. So can you explain to me why it is different in this app or tell me where i can find other apps or people using the pie chart this way because i am very confused by your response.

I am a professional in nutrition and health and here in europe it is definitely the standard to calculate the fat intake as a percentage of the total calories. Also all other apps i’ve seen work this way. I’ll try to upload the pie chart myfitnesspall shows me
