But it will add it in if you have two or three of the same item.I like MFP but if you are after exact results it isnt 100% accurate. I found if I put in something that was 1.3 g carbs it would round it down to 1g carbs which doesnt dound like much but over a day it could add up
You need to get the unsweetened variety as with all non dairy milksAlmond milk is not carb free https://www.diabetesdaily.com/blog/2012/10/low-carb-switch-almond-milk-for-cows-milk/
Even then, since almonds are not carb-free, I don't see how almond milk can be.You need to get the unsweetened variety as with all non dairy milks
The Alpro one has 2.3% almonds the rest is mainly water so pretty carb free..Even then, since almonds are not carb-free, I don't see how almond milk can be.
As a test; I ran together MyFitnessPal and "The Carbs and Cals book" (using the pictures) for 2 weeks and found the "Carbs and Cals book" gave me 35% less carbs. I did double check MyFitnessPal entry's against the labels on the food packets and corrected any dodgy entry'sYes, do be extra careful when using MFP. There are glaring errors and not so glaring errors. Most of the users are only concerned with calories, and many are from our cousins abroad with different food labelling, and different nutrients in the same foods (more added sugar etc)
Try slowly using less milk every day. Add water to make it less bitter.I stopped drinking coffee every day when I realised how much milk I was using
I’ll second that, I’ve noticed some really jubious carb amounts that are really off compared to the packing. Common sense and a little background knowledge of general carb amounts of certain foods goes along way in this incidence.Just a heads up that I have often had to double check the carbs amounts put into MyFitnessPal as they are not often accurate.
A common issue on MyFitnessPal is some entry's are user submitted and are not from MyFitnessPal (it does say when item is picked). Because some people are only calorie counting they never fill in the rest on a new entry apart from calories.I’ll second that, I’ve noticed some really jubious carb amounts that are really off compared to the packing.
thank you, I wondered why my salt intake is high, but couldnt quite work it out. I will go and double check the imput in future.A common issue on MyFitnessPal is some entry's are user submitted and are not from MyFitnessPal (it does say when item is picked).

The entry for Sodium is joke because people enter the mg amount as grams from a packet and Sodium amount as salt amount (salt is only 40% Sodium!!) again from packet.
Ive found it is possible to double check an entry as carbs are 4 cal a gram, protein also 4 cal a gram and fat 9 cal a gram. So is if you know the calories then the carbs, protein and fat should add to the same (near enough)

I think they list Sodium rather than salt content is there are other ingredients that have Sodium such as Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) which is that stuff they put on Pringles so you eat the whole packet! MSG is 12% Sodium (by weight)thank you, I wondered why my salt intake is high, but couldnt quite work it out. I will go and double check the imput in future.
Hmm I think I'd better check my Nutracheck values. I think they may use the same database. My salt levels have been really high.thank you, I wondered why my salt intake is high, but couldnt quite work it out. I will go and double check the imput in future.
Its also possible to choose the correct product but the sizes have changed since entry on the database. Also different countries have different sizes and different ingredients.Another thing with MFP are the entries for vitamins and minerals (in the cases where they were actually recorded - which isn't often) Measurement units of some of these are different in different countries, but people ignore this and just enter the amount they seem on the nutrition label - which often is not the one used by MFP and not necessarily the ones we use in the UK.
I found the best way to use MFP was to work out all the nutrients of my food from nutrition labels and the internet (UK supermarkets, manufacturers, growers etc. and my Carbs & Cals book) Then I would enter these myself rather than rely on other member entries. I gave up with it eventually.
With MyFitnessPal I installed on my desktop computer an option so I can print the food reports not to paper but to a PDF file. I use these pdf's as pre calculated meal plans. It has the advantage you can search the pdf for old meals (even from months ago) that are worked out correctly.I don’t use mfp at all now, got my meals that I need to choose from so I know them inside out. I did find I was referring to labels a lot and using supermarket websites for info also with the dodgy inputs from users. A lot of my food is cooked from scratch so notch up all the ingredients and get my counts from the labels and make a note for futur next to the recipe. Simple as that.
