Cooked is 164 grams.
I meant 164 calories. Obviously not foruming well today.0 -
Put in the actual brand instead of relying on a generic entry? Saves at least half the trouble. If there isn't a brand because you bought it at a farmer's market or something, then check the stats before you pick. You should do that on an entry you haven't used before anyway.0

They need a "IT'S SO WRONG IT'S STUPID" button.0

@StrongAsFuarkBear uh yes most of us know the database has a ton of garbage entries
it is up to you to hit the "Nutrition Info" button on a selected entry and verify the stats, or create your own entry if you cannot find an accurate one
maybe spend less time expecting MFP to do all the work for you and put in some of your own time to verify what you put into your body
wow, D*#& much?
Wow, wk much? Yet the OP was mocking people with thyroid issues.
Lol, just lol.
I don't think OP was mocking thyroid issues. I think OP was saying that maybe the reason people often think thyroid issues are responsible for lack of weight loss is that they are eating more than they think because the database is wrong. Probably not the best way to make a point, but I don't think it was mocking.

Let's see, I've made note to MFP since 2013 about the garbage entries and the DB and relatively simple ways they could improve it. I've worked with databases at the SQL level before so I do have a concept of things that would be easy or complex to implement. Simple filters to help users surface better entries, etc.
The only change (except for the continued accumulation of garbage/entropy in the DB) has been this "verified" flag, which appears to have been bungled.
*sigh*0 -
I wonder if NO is hit a number of times the entry is removed? ex. no is hit 10times they remove the entry.
otherwise what is the point of NO.0 -

lol yeah there is an API request page for developers who want to make apps which work with the MFP database
but uhh I get paid to do *kitten* like this already so idk I'm just going to keep using my Recent list, create my own entries, and verify/downvote the *kitten* ones I see
maybe we could start a group and get some devs in there to pull the API and work on something simple-ish together0 -

I always wondered why the "no" was there, too.0 -

You click the no and then you get the option to edit. I think that's all it does.0

the calorie and portioning is so off....
Chicken breast- VERIFIED!!!! shows 110cal/100gram of chicken, not only that, but default option that comes up is (1/2 cup diced/minced), lol @ fingers dicing chicken on cutting board. unbeliveable. go by the USDA values at least for SUCH A BASIC item.
edit: real chicken has 164 calories/100gram , skinless, boneless
I don't know what kind of chicken you have but any raw chicken I ever had was 110-120 per 100 grams skinless.0 -

I'm a bad MFP'er then because I bypass and go to the next entry hehe0 -
I tried it on the greek strawberry above. It just gave me the option to "make a change" after I hit NO. ugh
I did not change it ...... people may be using it for examples. (assume most know they meant strawberry not tomato)0
