scanning vs manual input

Hi all

Sorry if this has been covered before. Here's the thing - if I scan something with the app it sometimes comes up as more than if I entered ingredients manually. For example - a pot of edamame beans came up as 3 points on a scan, but 0 when inputted as it's ...edamame beans...:). Similarly, a pack of two hardboiled eggs with a bit of spinach scans as 3, but again 0 on manula input (eggs & spinach). I assume this is because a scan will just take into account calories, fat etc without registering what the food actually is. So, I guess it's not cheating right....?! :D!

Don’t scan zero foods as the app will use the nutritional info to give a points value, when in fact they are free on the plan
