I just plugged into my food diary for today. I put in an item by label name. It was already there so I just clicked and entered. As I was ready to log out I noticed some that made no sense to me. The item was Northern Catch brand tuna. As far as fat, the label stated Fat Cal.5,Total Fat 0.5 ,Trans Fat 0g. But when I looked at my diary...it seems that for the servings(2) that I ate....it's coming up less than even one serving should be according to the label .It is showing here as (1) fat for 2 servings.That cant be correct calculation,could it?Could someone please let me know if the app here is correct according to my label. I'm thinking no,and I might need to adjust it. Tks in advance!

Okay, so one serving is 5 calories from fat, 0.5 g fat? You ate two, so your diary says 1 g fat. Seems correct. Or if it is 0.5 g fat for two servings, it will round up to 1 g. I don't see the issue. Unless you're confused about the "5 fat calories." That just means that 5 of the total calories in the product come from fat, which is not a 1:1 equivalent to the number of grams of fat.0
