Not that it matters if it is added, I can see the rationale behind this. Generally when people are following a program, depending on the program and the cycle (bulking or cutting), there is a set amount of proteins one should consume (1.5g/lb of body weight, 1g/lb of body weight etc.) and the remaining calories are to be attained from carbs/fats in some ratio (which in some cases might not even be defined, but left to preference).

True.

But often I'm concerned with a specific macro, as in, "hey I need 20g more carbs today."

The macro ratios of individual food items doesn't really help when calculating the total day ratios.

Thanks for the suggestion. I agree, I think I could improve how details are displayed more effectively anyways.
So you assume everyone is "bulking" or "cutting", or following that kind of "program"?
