Accuracy of MFP nutrition calculator?

Jpost001

I added a salad I made which tells me it's 160 calories per serving. However two other calculators I've used have very different calculations. One says 187 per serving and another says 385! I'm using all the same type of ingredients and measurements. Nothing is different.

Couple thoughts.

1. 385 calories is very different from 160. Not sure I'd call 187 very different.
2. Entries to the MFP database can be made by every MFP member, hence clarity and accuracy vary. It is the inevitable price you pay for allowing user edits.

When in doubt, and there probably should always be doubt, compare to a database less susceptible to error such as the USDA National Nutrient Database for instance.
