MFP Website food diary...rounds up?

cjdecz

Hey All, has anyone else noticed that compared to the phone app (Android specifically) the website food diary seems to round up?

For example: Nature's Promise Chicken Breast (verified). 3oz
On the website it shows the following macros:
Carbs: 0g
Fat: 1g
Protein: 20g

However, on the Android App it shows:
Carbs: 0
Fat: 0.8g
Protein: 19.5g

This is obviously a very small difference but I have noticed that due to the rounding up I am getting inconsistency between the app and the website.

For example, here is the difference in my food diary for today compared between the website and the android app.

Website

---

Carbs: 325
Fat: 51
Protein: 225
Calories: 2603

Android App

---

Carbs: 342
Fat: 48
Protein: 222
Calories: 2603

There is a large inconsistency in the macros. Moreover, did you spot something else very strange? The calories are out of whack. If we do the math the website calories should come to: 2659 and the android app should come to: 2688.

Am I just doing it wrong or are other people having this issue as well?

They do round differently.

MFP doesn't use the macros to calculate the calories. The calories listed are just added together from the calories shown in the calorie slot for each food entry.

Thanks for the replies. Glad It's not just me. Guess I'll just use the app since it seems to be more precise.
