    I'm not sure if this has been pointed out- if so, I apologize for the repeat.

    If you're using the PC to access MFP, take a moment to glance at the list after you've enter a specific food. For foods like vegetables, fruits, meats, anything raw or basic, MFP has an entry that THEY put it themselves. You will note them because they don't have an astrik (*) beside the name like most other options. This means it's been entered by MFP and is accurate. Unfortunately you can't see the astrik on a phone app. I try to use those when I can find them. If I can't, then I do as others have suggested: I either scan the barcode with my phone, enter/check the info on from the label, or find the one I feel is most accurate.

    Good luck!
