calorie counts don't seem accurate
I'm wondering how fat secret comes up with calorie counts -they don't seem very accurate. I entered a Chipotle veggie burrito and it came back as 950 calories and 45 grams of fat, which I thought was a huge overestimate given what's in the burrito. I decided to check out the Chipotle website, and figured out everything that was in the burrito and it only came out to 565 calories and about 20 grams of fat. Quite a difference! I didn't have any guacamole or sour cream on my burrito, so maybe fat secret assumes those are included, but I really don't feel like this website is very accurate, and it's also not very user friendly if you want to alter the number of calories in your diet based on what you know or what the package says. I don't know, maybe I should just do it the old fashioned way - with pen & paper!

entering calories
I am brand new at this and I would also like to know how to manually adjust the calories, if for instance, I only use 1/2 tbsp of mayo on a sandwich, or if I only eat a few crackers rather than what they consider a whole serving. Have you figured out how to do that? If you do please let me know!
