Logging recipes on mobile app from recipe builder

When I create recipes in the mobile app's recipe builder (which I love), the nutrition information is sometimes different than what gets logged. Example, I entered in a chili mac recipe and the mobile app said there were 333 calories. When I logged it, the calories entered was 202. If I look at the recipe on the computer, the calories in the recipe comes up 202. It still says 333 on my mobile app recipe. Which is the right value?

    I would just go back through the recipe and make sure that it added all the right ingredients in all the right amounts. For instance, I put in jambalaya and it randomly selected a chicken sausage brand that had 40 more calories per sausage than the one I had. I had to go back in and manually put in the right stuff.

    I hate the new recipe builder, I liked the one where I could pick out all my own ingredients myself and make sure it was right the first time. :frowning:
