Is there any way to edit the calorie value of a food scan by barcode?

I added a food supplement by scanning its barcode. The calorie value shown is lower than what is on the label by a factor of 6. I was wondering if there's any way that I can edit that entry in order to more accurately reflect the calories I am consuming when I take this supplement.

    If the wrong item or an item with incorrect info comes up when you scan, tap "Report Food" at the bottom of the food item and follow the feedback prompts so our team can take a look and update that.

    Everything but the calorie count seemed fine.

    I need to edit the calorie value.

    I'm new here & already confused how to accurately log what I eat. For example, this morning I had 1 cup gf sweetened Blueberry rice chex with 3/4 c WHOLE milk. The box shows 1 cup of cereal with 3/4 c SKIM milk=230 calories.
    There are many entries in the food database for this cereal already...which I can't even discern if they are including the milk & what type. Should I just create my own food items & not share into database (i certainly don't wish to muddy the water for others)
