    You can not assume all of the ingredients will match correctly - the MFP matching algorithm used by the Recipe Importer is sub-par. Plus, you may use different brands of ingredients that have different Calorie and nutrition profiles. You have to review every single ingredient and verify it 1) is the correct ingredient, 2) has the correct quantity you use, 3) and has all correct Calorie and nutrient information.

    Personally, I find the Recipe Importer/Builder not worth the frustration; so I only use the Old Recipe Calculator on the web version to create Recipes.
