I found there is a huge discrepancie with the calorie count when importing recepies. For example the Recepie for Roasted Red Pepper and Herb Pasta with Shrimp (http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/roasted-red-pepper-herb-pasta) on My Recipes says it's 378 calaries per serving. However when the receipie is imported on MFP the calories are listed as 495 calories per serving. Not sure who's right and who's wrong. Please explain why this is an issue. Thanks

    Carefully look over the ingredients and calories. I've had MFP say, for example, 3 cloves of garlic is 4000 calories. So, you have to really examine what exactly it imported and what it says for calories. Not perfect, but still good. Unless you a paying for the premium, then I would expect more. Hope this helps.

    Someone fix that garlic bug! I deal with it every time I import a recipe.

    Awesome. Thanks Green Bay Tom. Will pay attention to what's being imported.
