I started using MFP in ernest about 31 days ago. I noticed certain food appears twice or more. Are these entries made by the user community or are there anyone in MFP who manages this?

I'm asking to check if I can submit some items as well.

Thanks in advance.

    There are a mixture of both.
    You can create your own items.

    Oh, I am aware of my own food under My Food. For example MCDonald's here reports a different calories value for double cheeseburger than the one in MFP. How do we add that for everyone else? I am in Singapore.

    When you create the food, tick the box that says it will be added to the database.
