Thanks for the awesomely fast reply I figured as much....but I use the 100g weight measure a lot. and figured as much.....since with the peel the calorie count would be way over the top, since the peel adds about 20 grams lol. And I've found just how "off" even the banana measurements are.....
I'm curious how this calorie count will affect these new super bananas that bill gates helped create?

Thanks for this! For the most part I've been doing this pretty well on my own, but now I know a couple more things I can check to ensure I'm accurately counting my calories.0

This was very helpful! With such a large database and so many items to choose from, I always wonder if I am making the correct choice. I like to use the barcode scanner as much as possible.0

Very informative.
I sometimes use 'generic' on occasion as I do not buy meat (fresh or cooked/cured), fish, bread or most of our cheese from supermarkets. I sometimes put them down as supermarket/brand name things, but I know there's more fat and less water in the bacon I buy. I log more food than I have eaten though, to be on the safe side.0 -
