Olive oil not showing up properly

TerraFirmaTX

Olive oil is loaded with monounsaturated fat. Yet no matter how much of it I add to my diary, I still register ZERO monounsaturated fats. It's all showing up as saturated and trans-fat. Why? I scanned my bottle and it's in the databasehttps://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-answers/food-and-nutrition/faq-20058439 says it's 70% MUFA. My oil is Bonelli Light in Taste and the label says 10g mufa and 1.5g PUFA. But both targets say I have eaten none of either type.

Hello @TerraFirmaTX

When you scan a food product the nutrition information that is listed in our software will be only those reported by the manufacturer. Usually, this does not include monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fats.

Instead of entering in a brand name product, do a search for "Olive Oil" in the Common Foods tab. By adding the generic versions of your food products you will find much more complete nutrient information.
