because food entries are often wrong, or rounded. MFP doesnt take fat+carbs+protein to get calories consumed.. it just adds together what was put in the entries
because food entries are often wrong, or rounded. MFP doesnt take fat+carbs+protein to get calories consumed.. it just adds together what was put in the entries But the entries add up to the totals in the tally, don't they? I mean, if I were to add up all the calories as listed in the diary entries I make, that total would be the same as the one listed where it says TOTALS at the bottom. The accuracy of the entries themselves is a different problem. This issue seems to be a problem with either A) the MFP calculator; or my understanding of how the calculator works. Hm, unless you're suggesting that MFP doesn't check to see whether the math in any particular entry makes sense. I'll have to look at that.

I'll have to look at that. right, MFP doesnt check to see if the math makes sense in each entry - they just assume that people know what theyre doing. but there are tons of entries that just have calories entered, or only calories and sodium even for my entries today, if i did the math like you did for yours, my calorie total would be 2275, but the calorie totals in my diary it says 2230.

Yeah, it's a bit disturbing! I just went through my breakfast menu alone and saw how the portioning affects every total. I'll need to make some of my own calculations to make this work. Thanks for your response, RB.
