I've just been savings some of the recipes from one of the latest biscotti threads. There was a link there to another thread with the following recipe. Problem is, when I import it into MasterCook and tell it 24 servings, the calories and fat are entirely different. They come up 194 calories, 40% from fat. Does anyone have this recipe to see what I may have done wrong? It's a CL recipe. (I've omitted the instructions.)

It has to do with your abbreviations- I think it's the T instead of tablespoon. When I use their tablespoon it comes down to 65 cal/2 g fat.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! I was really scratching my head on this one. I guess because I so often use T and t as abbreviations I didn't even notice it. I'm surprised the program accepted it. Of course I had simply pasted it in from a thread and carefully checked the quantities, etc. but overlooked that completely. I really appreciate your help... I'm a serious calorie counter so this was very important to me. Not so much this particular recipe but I'm rather new to using MasterCook and I want to feel like I can trust its nutritional info.:)
