I just ate half a sandwich and it says it has 3600 g of carbs, is this normal? Or is the app crashing? A sandwich can't have that much carbs, can it? I mean the calorie intake is 270 so that cant be possible right??

    Lots of people have lots of "fun" adding crazy foods to the database. Use labels when available, if not, log your best guess of the components of the meal.

    Rule of thumb: 1g of carbs contains 4 calories.

    Always double check the entries you choose from the database before you add them.. I have seen some pretty insane entries in there as well.

    I hope you went back and corrected it, that would make your macros look way off! :):)
