Just a little vent about daily values in the food database

eamartin

I hate when I go to enter a food from the database and it has several "confirmations" and I look at the daily values and they are all wrong except the calories. I know some people on here are only counting calories and don't really care about sodium, fat, carb, ect values but some people do.. like me.. so please.. if you confirm information in the database, make sure ALL the info is correct.

Okay that's just my vent..

I SO agree with you! It is so frustrating for me sometimes! Thanks for posting this

I hate when I type in something like "salt" and it gives me "tomato basil soup" or something that CONTAINS salt. I put a lot of recipes in and use each ingredient because I want it to be as accurate as possible. I think someone should confirm the nutritional info. is right before allowing it to be input into the database, or at least have a way to filter MFP-added foods and USER-added foods.

I agree! I hate having to bring everything I eat and put it on my desk in front of me just because 75% of the time the database is wrong even though it's confirmed right.. Just like people adding their own "special" recipes to the database.. I went to add my tuna sub the otherday and found like 10 subs on there with ppls names on the end of them.. and the info is WAY off..

People, you are only cheating yourself!
