I just imported a recipe from another website and the calorie count was more per serving here on myfitnesspal. Has anyone else experienced this? I don't know which one to believe now.

    When that happens I just go with the higher count.

    Calorie counts can always be up to 15% wrong, I usually tend to go with the higher one or just calculate on my own since ingredients can vary in calories depending on the company.

    Double check the serving amounts. Also, when importing the ingredients, there is a button at the bottom of each ingredient page that says something like "search for a better match" or something like that.

    I get specific and replace the existing ingredients by scanning the bar codes of what I am actually using, making sure to keep the amount consistent.
