question about food analysis breakdown

I was looking at the pie chart showing my percent fat, protein, and carbohydrates. I noticed that while my fat percentage was higher than my protein percentage (bad, I know) I was taking in more grams of protein than grams of fat.

Now I'm just curious. How exactly are these percentages calculated? I was assuming that they were just the breakdown of your total diet. However, if I'm eating more protein than fat mass wise, then shouldn't I be eating more protein than fat percentage wise as well?

Maybe there is an obvious answer to this, but I'm too lazy to find that. Anyone know?

The chart shows the percentage of calories you ate from the various main food-groups. Not the weight.   Fat is approximately 8 calories per gramme whereas protein and carbohydrates are nearer 4 calories per gramme.  

A balanced split would be 40-65% of your daily calories from carbohydrates, 15-25% protein and 25-30% fats.   Aim for >25g fibre, <50g sugar and <2400mg sodium for good health.

"Aim for >25g fibre, <50g sugar and <2400mg sodium for good health."

Note that those numbers are for added sugar - the refined stuff or HFCS & similar stuff which you find in processed food (perhaps confusingly, sugar in honey and fruit juice is also included in this group) - you'll need to do your own calculations for that because CC just lumps all that together with perfectly acceptable sugars (basically those that come from the whole fruit and other carbohydrates that you eat). As an example, CC gives my sugar consumption for yesterday as an 'unhealthy' 136 grams when it was actually about 18 grams (not much more than a third of the 50g recommendation - all from cornflakes & orange juice at breakfast), the other 118 grams ought not to be included in the calculation.

Similar problem with sodium. The 2400g figure should properly apply to added salt (either at table, in cooking or in processed food). CC includes all sodium. It is an especially big problem for foods that you add yourself to the database (because CC does not adjust the per 100g figures entered for, say, a 20g portion serving, so using a large multiple).

CC's calculations for sugar, sodium and vitamin A should all be taken with a pinch of salt (if not a sugar lump). 

Thanks for the information. That makes a lot of sense, actually.

It sounds like I need to get more fiber in my diet, but besides that so far I'm doing alright.
