Question: I created my own recipe and entered it into the app. The calculations I’m getting put it at 116.6 sn3yeh0txei5.png
calories per serving, however, the app is listing it at only 100 calories per serving.

    How did you calculate the calories on your own? Did you leave anything out of the recipe or accidentally put in a different measurement? Did you count the calories for Net Carbs or Total Carbs? Cause that will make a difference. How about the rounding up/down factor that comes into play.
    At a difference of 16 each and you have 12, that adds up to almost 200 calories, so I'd suspect you need to recheck the recipe you entered online. Start there.

    Calories from fat 4.6x9 = 41.4
    Calories from total carbs 8.7x4 = 34.8
    Calories from protein 10.1x4 = 40.4
    Total calories 116.6

    Every single ingredient entered correctly using a barcode scanner.
