Is it just me or does the food database on here just drive you crazy? It's no wonder some people have problems with their calories cuz there is so much wrong information in this database. I just got through comparing the Grilled Chicken Sandwich at Sonic to the database and their website. Every single entry in that database is wrong. The closest one was 10 calories off and 4 fat grams off. That's as far as I checked. But that can really screw someone up. It's just really frustrating when you are trying to be as good as you can just to find out some knuckle head entered wrong information in the system. I wish there was a way that only things that are scanned in by UPC code or downloaded from a website could be entered in. And if you manually enter it, it can only be accessed by you and you alone. That way, if it is wrong you're not screwing someone else. Just yourself. UGH!
