Default What if My P.L.A.N. won't accept what is on label?

I am entering the nutritional info from the label of a can of tuna, and I receive this message:

The nutritional date you have entered are incorrect. Please make sure to enter valid data.

You have entered 50 calories, but the data entered totals to 57 calories. The formula to calculate calories is as follows:

Calories = Carbs x 4 + Protein x 4 + Fat x 9 + Alcohol x 6.93

The data you entered comes to:

Calories = 57 = 0 * 4 + 13 * 4 + .5 * 9 + 0 * 6.93 = 57

Possible reasons are:

1. You did not enter the label data accurately, re-check to ensure accuracy

2. The label may have listed carbs by weight (including fiber) and not by difference. In this case, subtract the fiber from the carb count

3. The label is incorrect, or contains hidden carbs.


So what do I do about it? I did enter the data accurately, and I want the food in my Favorites list--what should I alter?

Thanks!

It works if you change the protein to 12.5g. Worked for me, anyway.

Change the calories to 57 as it "suggests". Leave the rest as is.

Sometimes labels round down on thei readings, which could be part of the issue.
