Why is accuracy of food data important?

It is very important that you try to have as much accuracy as possible when you input calorie data for what you eat.  Your calorie input will influence your overall results, so if you are off in this number you might think you are on track to lose weight but will not see the results you expect. If you can’t find the food or product in the food tracker,  try to look up a similar item or add the calories and portion size from the label manually.
