Maybe I’m reading this wrong but this morning I logged my breakfast which was 1 Hard Boiled Egg and 1/2 a Grapefruit and under the Polyunsaturated Fat section it was showing-2 and completely blue like I had to much. 1 hard boiled egg?

    Unless you go into settings and break down your fat allowance into categories, MFP will assign a zero value to polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, and trans fat. So your total fat allowance will look good but any of those categories that have nutritional data in the submitted entries will show as negative. I just ignore this, but watch my total and saturated fat levels.

    I wonder if you picked an inaccurate egg entry? These are most all user created, so someone could have put it in wrong.
