Worst database entries?

I legit found these and put them in as entries on Christmas 2016.

Hey, this thread has been bumped. I've actually been using the human soul entry I updated to log cocktails, since I copied the nutritional info from vodka. Just used it last night in fact to log some spiced rum.

I didn't take a picture, but there is actually one in the database for PF Chang. Apparently one cup of rice is 0 calories, unless I misread it. I hope it is right, because that is what I ordered .

There is a (verified!) entry for blackberries that is something like 700 calories/ounce. I don't think so!

Holy *kitten*!! I'm just glad before I started, I read the stickies for getting started. The one I read said to verify all your diary entries, as they are user generated and could be inaccurate.

Some of these ranged from downright hilarious, to ludacris, to WTF. Had a great time reading through them though. Thanks

Writing "ham slice" gets me "ham, cubed." So...eh.

I guess I should have been more specific... I was thinking "worst" in terms of ridiculously low calorie counts for the item.

You've lost control, just sit back and enjoy!

When I tried to help someone learn to log their food here they couldn't understand that to be accurate they had to weigh, measure, and log each food item separately. So they tried to beat the system by logging a Mc Donalds two cheeseburger extra value meal ( at least 1000 plus soda) as a generic "burger and fries" entry for only a few hundred calories.

I once had someone tell me in all earnestness that they logged their bananas as small - 90 calories and then bought the largest bananas they could so they'd get more banana for the same number of calories.

Use a food scale and log in grams, maybe?

I found an entry for a sandwhich for 120 calories. No mention of which type of filling. Must've been air. I mean 1 piece of bread is about 120 cals. So its an air sandwhich!

Remember when kids used to say "why do we have to learn all these equations? We're never going to use them in real life!"
They're the ones putting in the dumb database info.
