Micronutrients don't always seem accurate

SushiEater

Been tracking for 1 week and I love this app so far, my issue is that I don't think entries that I'm using a very accurate... What can I do about this... Where can I get a better entry it I think all of them on my app might be wrong?

For example I read on Google that peanut butter is loaded with omega 6.

I ate two table spoons and tracked. I tried every entry for Smuckers natural creamy peanut butter but it's showing no omega 6.

I don't mind creating custom entry but I'm not sure where I can find correct data to add it.

Hi SushiEater,

Most brand name products will have the only the nutrition information shown on the Nutrition Facts table on your package.

To get much more nutrition information, look for a generic alternative from sources like NCCDB and USDA. For example, Peanut Butter, Natural, Salted or Peanut Butter, Natural, Unsalted both have some omega-6 in them!

Best,

You can also edit a copy of any food in our database - this is handy if you would like to take the food we have and make a few tweaks to better match your product.

You can right-click a food in your diary to View/Edit the selected food in the Foods tab, or click on the Foods tab, then the Search sub-tab to search for a food. Use the menu in the top right corner to Edit a Copy, make your changes and save it as one of your custom foods to use in the future.

I hope that helps!
