When I log hummus, for example, a tablespoon is tbsp.

 

When I log Metamucil, a tablespoon is tblsp, and I can't change it to tbsp.

 

Is there a rational explanation for this inconsistency?

@Bobz How are you! Tbsp and Tblsp are both accepted contractions of tablespoon, I don't know why there was not only one used, although some of the food database content can be client based (i.e. when you add food by scanning the barrcode or when you create custom food).

Funnily enough I looked up the example you gave and got TBSP on both, any chance any of this is created content?
