Creating Recipes in My Fitness Pal
Creating recipes in MFP is a great shortcut for adding foods to your food diary. However, it is also a huge headache. The problem is that when you add a food to the recipe, the vast majority of the choices have inaccurate calorie counts and we don't get preview that information until we add that food to the recipe. I was…

Search recipe discovery
I can’t see a way to search through the recipe discovery page on the app. There is no little magnifying glass icon or anything. So if I want to see all the chicken breast recipes, for instant, I have to scroll through all of them. Or am I missing something?

Creating own recipes
When I create my own recipe I"d like to add a small note to it so that I'll know next time how to adjust it if needed. I think many of us would like to have such option, but MFP isn't there to listen. (Sorry, had to vent it)
