Calorie count different when using the recipe tool?

Sometimes when I use the recipe tool, the calorie amount seems to be off. In this recipe I posted, if you manually add the calorie amounts from the ingredients list and compare it to the calories per serving it shows at the top its off by 1. This only seems to happen with the recipe and meal tool, it doesn't happen if I just enter each ingredient directly into the diary 1 by 1. I know this is pretty silly to worry about here bc its only a 1 calorie difference but I would like to know if the recipe tool calculates its calorie totals differently. It is just rounding the calorie amounts differently or something?

    It's most likely a rounding issue, but I tend to agree that a 1 calorie difference is not something you should be concerned with.
