    It looks like the option you chose doesn't have a grams option. You need to search the database for options that have grams available in the dropdown.

    Fitlife - it is one of the less fun things about the myfitnesspal database - full of entries that don't have grams or ounces. So you have to check out the different entries and see which one works. Or, scan the item or create your own entry.

    Try Rice - Brown, long-grain, cooked. It has a 100g option. So if your rice weighed, say 205g, you put 2.05 of 100g.

    Though it's better to weigh rice dry and use the dry entry.

    And you can always -- like I already said -- MAKE YOUR OWN ENTRY with the package. Then YOU can make it in grams. Simple. "Create a Food" under "My Foods" on the web, not sure on mobile.

    Stop using your barcode scanner if you don't really understand MFP yet. Go to add a food, type in a search entry (like brown rice) and you'll see TONS of options. Choose one that works for you.

    Your chicken is definitely wrong.

    Chicken - breast, meat only, cooked, roasted <-- this would work if it is skinless, and boneless, and you weighed it after cooking.

    One cup of that is 231 cals but you'll want to use the weight.

    And I still don't see you adding the oil that you cooked the egg in. And did you cook the chicken in oil too? You need to log oil, it's really high in calories. (Not bad to eat, just bad to ignore, as you could eat a few hundred calories of it without knowing.)

    Go into your food diary. Add a food. Search for olive oil. Choose an entry for olive oil. Select how much you used. Add it.
