    To be fair though that 800 cal is no better than just guessing if you typed in "stir fry chicken and vegetables," got a generic entry someone submitted to the database based on who knows what, and also used an estimated, volume-based measurement (2 cups) to decide how much you had. Either way I'm sure the MFP entry is based on the assumed cooking oil usage. The problem is there's really no way to tell if that is way over, right on, or even under what you actually ate.
