Recipe calories not logging correctly

my apologies if this has been covered before. But how do I get the MFP ios app to log recipe calories correctly? When I input all the ingredients for a recipe and then log the recipe, the calories logged are always significantly less than shown in the recipe. For example, today I made a breakfast recipe of scrambled eggs and veggies (and ghee) that came out to 199 calories per serving when I weighed everything and input it into the calorie builder. But then when I logged a serving of the recipe, MFP only logged 170 calories! That's a 30-calorie difference! I did a quick add for those calories, but I'm not going to remember to donthat every time. What gives?

This happens to me on the app often. I go back into the recipe, hit edit and then re-save. Then I add it into my diary again (it won't necessarily update the entry you already have for today.). This usually works. It's annoying. Sometimes it will have 0 carbs for some reason also. I do the same thing, edit and resave.0
