I've uploaded a couple of published recipes (Cooking Light, Food Network) where the calorie count calculated by Fitnesspal differs significantly from the info published with the original recipe. Why?

    Are you using the exact same ingredients (same brands - same everything) in both recipes? Did you calculate the same # of servings? Are your serving sizes the same? Could be a number of things.

    It could also be that the MFP recipe builder is buggy as hell. It drives me batty. The other day an uploaded recipe listed 75g of fresh blackberries as over 2000 calories.
