Different calorie count

Why am I seeing two different calorie counts for food? Let’s say steamed broccoli. One says such and such and the other(chopped) says something else? I have fallen off the band wagon and gotten a little fluffy and want to get started again. Any tips/tricks to reboots would be greatly appreciated.

    The database is user generated and people often make mistakes

    When adding fruits or veggies add USDA and you will get accurate entries. i.e.“USDA broccoli”
