MFP data question

I see when I added my breakfast of a protein shake it has .5 gram of satuarate fat, according to MFP, it is actually 1 gram. But when I check daily values it shows 2 grams of saturated fat consumed with breakfast. But the only thing in breakfast is the shake. Why is this and is their a standard deviation I can assume in each of the data sets?

    .5 grams in the database entry will be rounded (for display purposes) as 1 gram in your diary/log, which only shows whole numbers.

    Any chance you were looking at a different day when you looked at daily values? Otherwise I have no explanation.
