myfitnesspal app users, please help!
So I'm trying out the myfitnesspal app to help shift some of my dissertation weight, and I have a couple of questions.
1) is it just me or is some of the info very inaccurate? I typed in 'egg' this morning and it tried to tell me that one egg was 30 calories. what's up with that? do I need to just input every food myself?
and 2) is there any way to keep track of glasses of water, servings of dairy, etc? I was hoping to track not just calories but healthy things. Is this a good app for that, or can someone recommend a better way of doing this?
thanks very much!

Re: myfitnesspal app users, please help!
So the one downside (and a plus actually) is that the database is built by it's users entering foods. You do have to pick the right option for what somes up. Now it saves your foods as "recent" or "most used" so that once you know you have selected the correct calorie counted item you can easily go back and choose it again.
The tracking water option is on the bottom of the food diary page (on the webiste), I do not think you have the option to track it from the app... anyone else know?
It breaks down your daily nutrition by fat, calories, and carbs at the bottom as well.
Good luck! My name on MFP is pdxjenn if you'd like to find me!

I just started using it a few weeks ago and I feel like the food listings are way more accurate than they are on Sparkpeople.
I just searched for egg and didn't find any that came up 30 calories (except for egg beaters or egg whites)
It won't break it down into food type for you, but if you go under the weekly tab, you can pull up your weekly total of all the macronutrients.
I try to use the scan feature on the mobile app as much as possible to get my calorie info
