Change in calories

Does anyone else use the recipe feature? I do and it always changes the calories when I actually log it. This morning I added a smoothie to my recipes and it's just one serving and the total came out to be 290 calories but when I logged it, it changed to 170 calories. I'm unsure if it's logging correctly and I don't want this to negatively affect my progress. The recipe feature is so great but I want to be sure it's working properly.

I had the same issue. I'm just adding everything separately now. It gives you the foods eaten together option which is still pretty easy. Maybe someone else has more insight?0
