Why does the app show a different calorie count each time I open the same recipe?

Question

I have a flour tortilla recipe and every time I open it the calorie count seems slightly different — sometimes 180 kcal per serving, sometimes 185, once it showed 192. The recipe itself has not changed.

This is confusing and I do not know if the numbers I am relying on for planning are accurate.

I had a similar issue with a bean recipe. It turned out one of my ingredients (lard) was matching to two different USDA entries with different fat content. Fixing the USDA match in the ingredient library resolved it.
