Accurate Food Tracking
I've noticed that the food and qtys recorded in the app are highly inaccurate. For example raw chicken ****** - when changing the serving size to 100 grams the calories and macros are totally incorrect like most foods in the app. I've had to swap all my clients back on to my fitness pal because the food tracking feature is just so wrong.

I decided to see why my client was struggling so hard with nutrition (over eating carbs but undereating fats) by inputting everything that he had tracked in the In-App tracker into MyFitnessPal.
The app said that he had 2500 calories, 216g protein, 313g carbs, and 38g fats. He barely had any food logged so I went to MFP and inputted the exact same foods/brands, ect.
MFP gave me these numbers: 1532 calories, 142g carbs. 171g proteins, and 26g fats.
This is a HUGE issue because now I don't trust the In-App tracker at all. There will definitely be SOME difference between certain food selections and trackers when it comes to the macros, but it's usually similar. This was 1000 calories different. That plays a HUGE issue in the clients success.
I'm not a software engineer, I don't have the answers, but PLEASE fix this, or at least look into it and address it.
Thank you.
