Is FitDay on crack?

[aelephant]

Per FitDay the 4 cups of broccoli I just ate has 410 calories, 20g of fat and 17g of protein.

A different website says a cup of broccoli has 34 calories (34 x 4 =/= 410), 0.4g fat and 2g protein.

Is FitDay assuming I dissolved a whole stick of butter in the broccoli or what? All it says is "Broccoli, cooked".

Check the broccoli for contamination - it may have a burger attatched to it.

Yes fit day is on crack. I use the nutrition database on bb.com.

I use Fitday and a cup of broccoli is about 30 cals

What we have here is a classic case of PEBKAC.

Don't use cups, get a digital scale that measures in grams and use that. It's much more accurate.



We have one?

Dear OP, there are easily 50+ entries for "cooked broccoli" on fitday.com. Obviously this one contains butter and or other items, find one that does not.

[GrainBelt]

Why are people still using FitDay? DailyBurn.com is a most better designed, user experience.

[codd]

check out the entry for deli turkeyatleast on the program lol

OP, http://www.fitday.com/fitness/forums...vs-cooked.html

This is why I don't use fitday. Too many ****ing inconsistencies.

i like livestrong. fitday was very cumbersome

[csfb36]

I like using livestrong and then just verifying everything with the usda nutrient database.

I use the MyFitnessPal for the iPhone (they have a website too, i believe) and it's been pretty good so far. I'm not measuring everything on a scale, but the approximate numbers I'm getting seem to make sense. Plus, it has a lot of Canadian items in the database as well.

Choose the Broccoli without salt/fat added, or Broccoli boiled etc...

[Steve1111]

Is it fresh broccoli that you're cooking or is it frozen? If its fresh search Broccoli, raw and if its frozen just put it in customly using the nutrition facts on the bag.

[aelephant]

Fresh broccoli purchased at the local open air market in Shanghai, China.

Steamed.

Don't really care about the nutrition values, but I was curious. When this popped up, I laughed out loud. Figured I'd share. I've heard great things about MyFitnessPal though.

[Gordon09]

Always use the "raw" option when it comes to veggies on fitday. For some reason fitday automatically assumes you dump your veggies in a vat of butter when you cook them.

[CaliforniaKing]

Weird. For some reason, the only listing on FitDay for broccolli is one that's "batter-dipped and fried"

Just go to nutritiondata.com or something and get the real nutrition info and add it as a custom food.
