Why does the library entry for coffee have carbohydrates?

I've been tracking for a couple of months, and I just noticed that the library entry for coffee has 5 times the calories that other tracking programs, AND it has carbohydrates.  WHY?  Is the coffee entry with sugar? Then it should say so!!  

Coffee should be 1 calorie per cup, no carbohydrates.  

So, whoever controls the library entries should change this.  

Now I have to go back and fix all my coffee entries, and there are a lot of them.

You also have the option to input your own custom entry for items whose values you find questionable in the food database.  I do that whenever I find incorrect entries in the database.  

 

BTW I just looked up coffee in the database, and it lists 1 calorie no carbs for 100 grams, which is what my jar says.

Recommend making a custom entry for your coffee.

Good luck
