How to log recipes correctly

Not sure if this is right place to ask this. Having issues with creating accurate myfitnesspal recipes.

I usually eat a giant bowl of salad alongside rice + protein + egg or something. The salad comes out to about 50 calories. Great. But I want to be able to track my micros as well (To actually know i'm heading the health direction correctly). I logged 5 leafs of lettuce, 1 small carrot, 1oz of spinach, and a fourth of a head of broccoli and i'm getting 80% of calcium, and 400% vitamin A. Which im quite sure is not right. I try another listing in the recipe of the same name, and it changes. I guess my main question is, is there any indicator of actual legit ingredients in myfitnesspal recipe? I dont see any checkmark like they have in the food section.

Thanks
