Default I think I am using the "my p.l.a.n." wrong

I was trying to post or journal what I have had today and it is coming up with way more calories than what I have had. I think I am posting the servings wrong onr something.
I had 2 scrambled eggs and 3 pcs turkey bacon for breakfast
I had a large salad with lettuce, mushrooms, onions, maybe 1 -2 oz cheddar cheese and a hamburger pattie for lunch.
I was coming up with 1900 calories and I know that is wrong b/c the turkey bacon was showing 938 calories. I enter 3 in the slot number because I had 3 slices is that what is screwing it up?

I think I figured it out! I think you may have accidentally entered 33 slices of bacon!

The turkey bacon shows as 321 calories when I enter 3 oz of it. The average slice of bacon weighs about 1 oz, so I just went with the default weight and considered it one slice.

yeah I think I know what I did. I left it on the 100 grams or whatever the default is and it was showing up like 900 calories when it is actually 35 calories per slice.
I am sure I don't totally have it figured out but I'm getting there.

Just ask any questions you have! I certainly had a ton of them when I first began to use it!
