Create New Food suggestion

I suppose this has been suggested before, but quite often I'll be adding a recipe for a sandwich or a smoothie or some such, something I know I'll be having again. Typically, I'll look up the calories for the contributing ingredients, total it up, then add the new food. Fine.
But it would be swell if MFP would let me create a new food by selecting the ingredients, then Create. And copy ALL the nutrient info, so it wouldn't just be calories.
Seems like a pretty cool functional addition.

You can save it as a meal. When you put the ingredients in for your sandwich, click on the "more" in the app, or on "quick tools" on the website. Then pick "save meal" & it will save all those foods, in a meal that you name, which will be choosable from the "my meals" section. Next time you pick it (ie, turkey/cheddar sandwich on light bread) all those foods will populate your diary.
