    One more thing about this...I re-read the article and it clearly stated that:

    "1/2 cup of SHELLED, unsalted, raw sunflower seeds" was only 100 calories.



    Just one more jab at this 'informative' article...

    This is why you need to weigh things. Cups is not an accurate way to measure solids as its a measure of volume. All nuts and seeds are pretty high in calorific value though they contain lots of good things.

    This. Plus, once you verify (with the USDA site) an entry is correct, it becomes part of your list of foods. Just use that entry from now on. The MFP database is disastrous. There is chicken with no protein, tomatoes with no potassium, cookies with no fat. Verify, verify, verify.
