Hi, I've been tracking my food intake for over a month. It's been very helpful and easy! But, I have noticed that there are a lot of food entries that have incorrect information regarding protein, carbs, cholesterol, etc. Is there a way of correcting or monitoring this?

    The database is largely user-entered and prone to errors. I tend to double check anything I'm not sure of against labels, USDA or CalorieKing, and have managed to curate a recent foods list that I trust.

    If the data is wrong, edit it and save it to the public database for others.

    In the past I have corrected wrong information in the food database for my personal use and for others as well. I am not longer able to do that. If the nutritional information is wrong or if I want to enter the servings in grams or ounces (according to the original label), instead of cups or tbs. etc, the system gives me a "Thank you for keeping the database up today" but I can't change anything.
    I have reported this issue to Costumer Support, but they don't seem to understand or resolve it.

    This feature appears to have gone the way of so many others. You can report a food as wrong, but you can't change the entry anymore and they do nothing about reports of wrong foods.
