I typically never have issues with importing a recipe but for some reason myfitnesspal is not reading the recipe right. Here is the recipe http://powerhungry.com/2013/03/2-minute-all-flax-muffin-in-a-mug/ When I copy into the recipe importer it says it is 1,000 something calories, which is clearly not right. What am I doing wrong? I am trying to add 1/4 cup flaxseed however it will not let me change it. Any help?

    I found this thread hoping I wasn't going crazy! Mine is doing the same thing. This morning I tried to import a healthy banana bread recipe and it's saying 2300 calories per slice! I know that isn't right.

    I haven't found a way to report this.

    I was having this problem this morning too and created a thread about the same topic. Did you double check that all of the ingredients are importing correctly? When I imported a recipe this morning, I thought it was fine, but once I took a closer look at it, I realized MFP mistook 8 leaves of lettuce for 8 heads of lettuce. Big difference!

    Looks like the Flaxseed is not importing correctly. Look at the bag you are using and replace in the recipe with a flaxseed item closer to what you have. Also, you might delete the optional ingredients and just add them to your diary later.
