Hi all, I just started withf MFP yesterday and I have noticed that there are discrepancies between the MFP calorie/nutritional content vs the package of food products. Flor example Voskos nonfat greek yogurt honey flavor: on the carton cal 120, carbs 17g, sugar 13g. Compared to the MFP search for the item-cal 130, carbs 21g, sugar 16g.
Also how would I compute for example if I used 1 tsp of peanut butter vs the 2 Tbsp portion-I tried to cahnge the quantity but I am tired of having to do the math.
Any help would be appreciated,
Holly

for portions less than one, I found you can use decimals. It'll look like it rounds to a tenth but the calculation is correct. Or you could add your own food in.
For the incorrect entries, I've found some have multiple entries in the database and 1 will be correct so you could try searching further or add it as a new item yourself.0
