    Some of these are inputed by users - so they may be incorrect... I would suggest if you don't have the package to go off of.. chose one that is consistent with others.. for example if there are 5 showing - and 3 say the same thing I would go with that. Ofcourse you could always visit the mfr's website and see if they list nut facts on the item too.

    I normally will chose the highest one if there are only 2 that way I am safe @ the end of the day.

    any food entry with a * in front of it means that it was entered by another user like us. If there isn't one, it's been entered by the website.
    I try to use the foods with out the * when possible.
    If what you're eating has a package, use what is on that package.
    If not, I google it just to double check.

    Also look for the foods with higher confirmations listed under it's name. Means others confirm the nutrients.
