Hi,

I took a multivitamins pill which is verified. Then in the summary of daily nutrition, the data were not included. For example, there is 220mg calcium. It was not included in the daily total.

Does anybody notice the same issue?

Thanks.

    Sure. When adding a food, some people just add the stuff that's important to them and not all the info. Sometimes it takes some digging to find a correct entry. Or you can edit the wrong entry with correct or complete info.

    The food entry is verified. In other words, it is correct.

    That just means people have verified it. It doesn't mean it's correct. If it is incorrect and the calcium is something you want to track, you can correct the entry.

    I found that it's easier and faster to just create your own entires on MFP. Trying to find one that is accurate takes forever.

    It is a bug though. I reported. Thanks for your reply.

    Just curious. Did you compare the entry to the info on the multivitamin container?

    Heck, I don't track vitamins. It's the calories that will get me in to trouble.

    This.

    I've given up on the MFP database. I'm entering everything myself into the My Foods and not sharing it so that it doesn't clutter up the database and I can delete it later if I wish. My Foods is glitchy but it's still better than messing with the database.
