I tried to calculate an egg drop soup with low sodium chicken broth. It said each serving was about 110 calories which was about right but then it said there was 3,124 mg of sodium per serving! I knew that can't be right so I looked up each ingredient separately, added them up, divided them by servings and found there should be only 252 mg of sodium per serving. So I don't know where things went wrong lol, don't believe everything it tells you?

    Is this a random, generic recipe in the data base? If it is, it's just some other users entry...you have no idea what they have in their recipe or if they even tallied things correctly.

    If you make your own, use the recipe builder...do not rely on generic recipes in the database...they're just some rando's recipe.
