    I think it has something to do with the fiber that messes up the count

    I removed fiber from showing up and it did not do ****.
    i re did some values and it say 2590 calories today and i did the math my self and got to 2668 that is 78 calories could be huge if you are on a bulk for a really strict cut to get below 10% BF

    Okay so not adding fiber on your food items should solve that or remove fiber as count?
    i don't know, I've seen this issue explained before but I cannot remember the exact explanation

    Oh yeah another thing, are you sure the food your looking has the correct info in MFP? They are all user submitted and a good portion of them are flat out wrong. Be sure to check with the nutrition label then cross check before u enter it I
