It seems that the calorie count on myfitnesspal is very low. I am under 1200 calories and I never eat this much. I hope its correct.

    it really depends on what you are eating. usually when you are counting calories you are more careful about what you eat so you are not eating as much empty calories

    With a closed diary we can't take a peek and see what you're referencing. There ARE sometimes errors in the database like my lumberjack breakfast being listed as 75 grams of fiber when that MIGHT have been the carbs in the meal but not the fibre. Doublecheck against a similar food item to see how accurate the ones you're using are.

    Definitely double check your entries. Most of what is in the database is entered by other users and can be off. I always check against the packaging or website when first using an item so I can make sure it's correct.
