How to change the calorie count?

eckabad

I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the calorie count on a food item? I go off the calorie counts and portion sizes on the box of the actual item rather then what this says, usually it adds up perfectly (Or close enough) But sometimes I either can't find exactly what I had, or I thought it was the right thing, but the calorie count is WAY off what the package said. Right now i'm just adjusting the portion size on here until it gets to the right calorie count, but that's not excatly right either.... any ideas?

I don't think you can change an existing entry, but you can add a new entry into the database. Or you can add quick calories if you don't track anything else.

I add a new entry if what I find doesn't match the calorie count on the package.

One thing I've noticed is that there are a few items in the database that didn't take into account the serving size. It's listed like the entire package has 220 calories when the package actually has 2 or 3 servings, and each serving is 220 calories. I can't remember any particulars right now because I made a new entry into the database rather than paying attention to what was already there.

thanks I'll probably just start adding things, I was just wondering if there was an easier way to do it.
