Hi all! I just glanced at my MFP and it says 70 carbs total so far today, but when I manually added them up, I came to only 61. Any idea why it's adding more?

    It's likely a rounding issue.
    If you've had 10 items say that have 1.4 grams of carbs they display as 1... it's "supposed" to use the "whole number" so perhaps 1.4 over 10 items would be an extra 4 grams of carbs. Still not the whole 9 grams difference you're seeing but say you had 20 items... that's an extra 8 grams vs what is being displayed.
