Why is it sometimes when I scan a bar code it gives me a different amount for calories than what the package tells me? This has happened to me more times then I like. I usually go with the bigger #...... What do you do?

Thanks,
Jenny

    I thought the same thing, but that wasn't the case. For example a granola bar might say 140 on the box, but when I do the bar code that says 1 bar 160 calories.... :(

    In that case, it's probably just that the info in the database you'e using is out of date, and either the ingredients or the actual size of the bar has changed.
