I’m wondering why the nutritional information does not match from the recipe I import to the App. For example lemon cream cheese fat bomb recipe from Pinterest has .5 g carbs listed but when I import it to the App is has 5g. I did the math my self and got 1.5grams. I’m totally confused.

    The recipe importer can be laughably inaccurate. Did you double check every entry?

    I like to use entries that MFP pulled from the USDA database, so I use the old recipe builder, which makes it easier to find these entries. https://www.myfitnesspal.com/recipe/calculator

    However, that can have a glitch whereby after a certain amount of entries it loses all the data you've entered, and a workaround I'd used involving My Foods no longer works due to saving to My Foods not working off and on >.<

    But when I enter the # of serving right away, and save the recipe after entering no more than 6 ingredients, I haven't lost my data. (For more than 6 ingredients or to update the # of servings, I edit the recipe and proceed.)

    Sorry I couldn't provide a simple solution :(
