Nutrition Discrepancies

DeputyDawgAtl

Since MFP doesn't seem to want to respond to me a premium member and they are conveniently out today, I thought I would post my question here.

I have noticed on several products which I barcode scan in there is a discrepancy in nutrition info between MFP and its competitor, Fatsecret.

The same products barcode scanned and the same weight put in have different results. Has anyone else seen this and/or how to correct. I tried going into the specific entry but there is no place to edit the results.

Thanks

I don't trust the entries on MFP's system, so I have started creating my own. It's a bit of effort to start with but at least I don't have to worry about them being wrong. I either use the info on the package or I use the USDA nutrient database.

I *think* you can edit entries if you go through to the webpage but I'm not certain.

If it has a barcode then it probably has nutrition facts, compare to the label.
