Hi ,
I added on myfitnesspal red potatoes from lidl ,first i thought it was ok but after it seemed to many calories.i have checked the info section and is the same info as in my fitnesspall.
I googled it and it seems the generic should be around 70 cal /100 gr red potatoes.
Mine have 160 cal/100 gr.
Let me know your opinion a about this

    There are thousands of incorrect entries in the database. To calorie count accurately, you have to double-check the entries for accuracy.

    Yeah, what jane said ^^

    Here is the syntax for the Admin-entered (correct) Red potatoes. Copy/paste into the search, then use the dropdown arrow in the How much? part to choose "100g", and edit your portion size accordingly.

    Potatoes - Red, flesh and skin, raw
