Issue with app

jayjay3378

Hello,

since there was an update on this app it hasn’t been the same. I’m having an issue with my calories. I have hit my numbers, but for whatever reason I’m not hitting my calories. Which doesn’t make sense if I’ve hit my Marco numbers. Can you please fix this issue?

The discrepancy you're seeing is caused by the fact that some public foods added to the database by other users may contain inaccurate values in either their macro or their calorie fields. Unfortunately, at the moment the only option is for the app to sum the individual calorie values to derive the calorie total.

We've recently introduced more strict requirements for public foods created by other users, that will prevent most future additions to the database from containing macro values that don't add up reasonably to the calorie total entered by other users. In the meantime, you may wish to rely more heavily on food search results with the green checkmark, as these have undergone some machine analysis including a check for macro/calorie conformity. However, these too may have up to a 10% variance due to the different requirements for some labels.

You may also choose to edit any non-check-marked food to bring the calorie value in line with the macro values. More information on editing public foods is here.
