Market side BBQ Chicken Wrap

Summary: This is 1/2 of a wrap which means the entire contents are: 740calories

Then we have:
Market side Southwest Chicken Wrap

Summary: This says 1 wrap is 350calories

What is going on?! Why does one, at the same port portions say 1 wrap, yet the other says 1/2 a wrap. Then why does one say so much difference? I think that the second one just needs to say the packaging is 1/2 a wrap. Or change the servicing size to one package. Is there any way to let myfitnesspal know?

    Sounds like those are user entries that are incorrect. If you have the correct nutritional information, you can change it yourself. When it asks if the information is correct, hit no, and then enter the correct info.

    Guess I need to ask the workers to get me this info because I cannot find it online anywhere ha. Thanks

    It's usually on the package. If not, then the entries could be guesses.

    In this situation what I tend to do is figure out roughly what's in the wrap i.e one wrap, 150g chicken, 1 serving bbq sauce, 100g lettue etc and add the ingredients separately, because foods that don't have the nutritional info on end up being user entries and they're never that accurate.
