I just found a recipe I want to try but, in the gist of trying to do it right, created a copy here to get the caloric content. When I went to put it in, I found the same-named recipe. It lists the same ingredients as what my created one is but has ~2.5x fewer calories per serving-and a slightly larger serving size-than mine.

What are some reasons you can think of for the discrepancy? And should I be concerned with which one to use?

Thanks!

    Use the one you made since you know thats the recipe you are making.

    Clearly the other person used different ingredients than you. (Is this a serious question?)

    @lynn1982, yes, it is/was a serious question. i was trying to figure out the way to make things work successfully (sorry for not seeing your reply until now) and when the recipe looks to be the same but there is significant difference in how much i can eat, it was a concern on if i did it wrong or if there was something different that i was missing
