[BUG] Gross error when calculating nutrient percentages of individual foods
When you select a food in the web app, Cronometer displays the DV percentages of Highlighted Nutrients that foods contributes. I've found that for certain foods, this value is as much as 30% off from the same value displayed by Cronometer in the food details (12% vs. 16% for potassium in the example below).
Note that the absolute value for Potassium is the same, 561.5mg.
Does Cronometer have different Daily Values in the two views?
Here's the narrated screencast. I only talked about potassium in it, but as you can see from the screenshots above, the error affects other nutrients as well.

Hi Lector. Are you confusing %DV with your personalizes daily target %?
Labels show %DV which is a standardized reference value to help consumers make sense of nutrient amounts. Your personalized target is quite often different based on your body type and settings.Aaron Davidson
