badmojomn I am on same ratios as you, total calories a day around 1000 but with my excercise regime, net calories somedays below 500. I feel GREAT! Getting enough fats to be totally satiated on just 2 meals a day. Lots of energy, no brain fog. I am 64 yo and feeling better now that anytime on my old SAD (Standard American Diet) when I was in my 40s . Have lost 20 pounds in two months. There is a video about the myth of your body going into starvation with too few calories. It does not, if I can find it again I will pist it here

OK I finally got an answer! The percentages are not of the total grams, they are of the total calories. Carbs and Protein have 4 calories per gram and Fat has 9 calories per gram. This is why the calculated grams don't appear to be the right percent if you do your own math. But they are. It would be nice if this were explained somewhere on the macros page to avoid confusion.
