Why is there sometimes a small (1g) difference between my foods and meal totals?
Sometimes, you see something like this:
Food 1: 1g
Food 2: 1g
Food 3: 1g
Total: 2g
We know that 1+1+1 = 3, not 2, so what gives? In this and other cases like this, the difference is caused by rounding. We round our values to the nearest whole. So, in this example, the full values might be:
Food 1: 0.8g
Food 2: 0.8g
Food 3: 0.8g
Total: 2.4g
As you can see, the above full values round up and down to the first set of values. So it does make sense and is not a bug. It's just rounding.
