Net Calories
I’m a bit confused about calories. It seems that Carb manager Calories are high. As an example, other sources say an egg is 78 calorie, 2- scrambled eggs is 156. In Carb manager it registers 214. I know calories aren’t the most important thing in Keto but logically I know if I reduce calories that’s a big plus.

I tend to create my own food list from the groceries I buy that way I know everything is accurate.
In the example you gave for the eggs it may be that the scrambled eggs also include some sort of butter or oil etc. If I was to have scrambled eggs I would log my two eggs, then I would log whichever fat I used to cook them in.
I find that logging the individual ingredients to be more accurate.

I add my calories for butter as well so that makes it even higher. Guess I could edit the calories in carb manager? Or, not include the additional butter on my end but then it messes with the fat macro. Probably overthinking it.

Npk Don’t use the scrambled eggs in the App. You don’t know what that recipe consists of: eggs, butter, maybe milk. Simply log your eggs. Then log your butter. That way you will have accurate macro recordings.
