Calories changing on entered recipes?

in Recipes
I've been counting calories for over a year now, but I just started entering my own recipes on MFP to make things easier. But when I enter them, they have a certain calorie content, then when I go to log them, there are fewer calories per serving. Are calories lost to cooking?


For example, I make veggie stuffed peppers. When I enter the recipe, it says 240 calories per serving, but when I go to log it, it says 195 calories per serving. Anyone know what's going on? Thanks!

    I just entered a recipe and it did the same thing. I couldn't figure it out either.

    Me too! It was only two ingrediants, and it seemed to have left out the first one.

    Aww. Figured out if you save &log it messes up. You need to save it. Go back to your diary, and add it from there. Then it works fine.

    I've been having this problem everytime. Go to ur home screen (mobile), then recipes. Click on the recipe and then select edit. Don't need to change anything, just keep hitting next and in the end only click SAVE. That should adjust it to what it's supposed to be

    Thank you everyone! I went back to me recipe, hit edit, and then saved it again (not save and log). Then it corrected itself. Thank you so much!
