I just started MFP this week but notice that many of the items I have put in and brought up in database is not correct calculations? They are coming up different than what is on package etc?

    Anyone is allowed to enter nutrition information. But, if you find errors, select the item and then click on the tiny link that says "Nutritional Info." You can notify MyFitnessPal that the information is wrong. The MFP staff can't check every item, so they rely on votes from us that the information is accurate or not.

    I think you can do this only from a computer, not from the phone app.

    Thanks very much. I agree they can't check them I was just surprised for packaged items they would be so different.
    Thanks for the help
