Ex. I am entering some white flour in a recipe. Here's what MyPLAN tells me for 20g flour: (values are for C/P/F/PECC/cals)
Shouldn't the PECC be closer to the 15.26 value?
Now, the same 20g in the USDA database list it as 14.84g C, 0.5g fiber. My PLAN is set to PECC showing, not fiber, BTW.

It was actualy showing fiber, for some reason, not ECC., I'll check why, and untill then, it's show fiber only.
But you might be comparing two different items from here and the USDA, since we both use the identical database, USDA-=SR17. You can tell by the item's number (NDB), to ensure you're comparing the same item.
