same with calcium
not sure why MFP does these by percentages - not sure at all
Vitamin A, C, iron and calcium are all percentages under premium.
Should offer a trail to market it... I would at least, around January would be ideal ...
Oh god ...January is coming

I'm not talking about multiple entries for the same thing or incomplete/incorrect entries, that's always been around for as long as I've been here but the liquid measurements for solid food items and the glitch where it goes back to the default measurement and the crazy verified food entries (like 8000 calorie stick of butter, verified).
There were discussions that it would sort verified entries differently, but I'm curious how effective the differences are. Like you've noticed, the "verified" means jack and many are just as bad if not worse than other entries.
There are check marks next to MFP verified correct entries, but I thought everyone had that.
Everyone does
But verified means nothing .
They should be removed
There are so many bad entries in the database that have the big tick ..it's misleading at best, damaging to people's possible success at worst
^I agree. I've run into this issue a lot with "verified" foods being completely incorrect.0 -

What, you don't think "Chinese buffet - 1 plate" should be a verified food? Heathen.
/sarcasm
The asterisks/non-asterisks was such a better system than "verified" (I seriously can't even type that without a smirk).0 -
"Verified" just makes me think of celebrities on Twitter who really shouldn't be allowed access to the internet without supervision. Interestingly, the quality of their twitter content is often about as good as the accuracy of many verified foods on MFP.0

Do the blogs work in Premium?0

Since I do a lot of cooking from scratch, most things I use I can find in system-generated entries, and those are pretty easy to differentiate from user-created entries because their syntax is fairly predictable. I verify user-created entries against the package and correct when wrong.0 -

Are the verified foods not system generated entries?
I used to use the same wording as the nutritiondata site and found that those entries had a variety of measurments and all the correct info in it. Now I find they do not.0 -
Does premium work or are just as many things broken? If just as many things are broken, then it would be a rip off.
ETA: Ah, it looks like just as many things are broken. Definitely a rip off. "Here, pay for this thing we can't/won't fix." But hey, different things work for different companies. Good luck on selling broken stuff to your users, MFP!0 -

Foods show as verified for two reasons:
1. They are a system entry
2. They are a user entry that had enough other users click on Nutrition Info and answer Yes to the question Is this entry correct?
Before I answer Yes, I verify every single category, but clearly others do not.0 -
I believe that with the exception of the kielbasa, these were all system entries:

It's not user created entries I have an issue with. It's incorrect verified entries. I can't screen shot right now but look up butter, salted. 1 stick is over 8000 calories. There are a few others like that.0 -
I get 810 calories/stick.

A number of ignorant people clicking "yes" should not be enough to get a food immediately verified. It should then be kicked through to an employee checker who confirms. Some of the verified entries are an utter joke.
For what Premium does (macros by gram, calorie cycling) it's worth a one off payment, certainly not an ongoing subscription fee as high as it is. It's a total rip off. The premium content is a joke, the database and forums are the same as free etc etc.0 -
The free version has worked fine for me so I don't see why I should go premium. What'll it do, make me lose weight faster?0

Would you look at that. That does seem to be a system entry. I've been using the old entry.
Well, if everyone clicks on No to the question Is this entry correct?, hopefully this will get called to someone's attention.0 -
Can a user verify an entry more than once? It might explain some of these whacky verified foods, if people are 'trolling' the database by adding a completely wrong food then verifying it a bunch.0

I like that I can set by macros by gram and not percentage. I like that I can choose to have exercise not alter those numbers. What I don't get is why, if I choose not to add exercise calories back in, then those are not counted in my "If every day was like today" estimate. I get that it was easier to code that way, just take the leftover calories, and not check whether there are also exercise calories, but it renders one of my favorite features, that 5 week number, useless.0
