how does one delete recipes from their recipe tab?
Also how do you delete foods that you no longer use from your list?

    Don't think you can. As you add new foods they'll be pushed off the list.

    You can not delete recipes from the FOOD > Food Diary > Add Food > Recipes tab. You can edit or delete recipes from the FOOD > Recipes > Your Recipe Box page.

    I assume you are asking about the Recent list and not your actual Food Diary, because you can go back to individual days in your Food Diary and delete the food items one by one.

    ​The Recent list just displays up to the last 100 items you, yourself, added to your Food Diary. Those food items will eventually drop off of the Recent list display after you log more items. You can not delete them from the Recent list. If you want, you can change your default display to the Frequent list, from which you can hide previous food items that you added to your Food Diary and do not want to see displayed on a list of foods. On the Web version, navigate to FOOD > Settings and change Default Add Food View to Frequent. On the Android app, navigate to Settings > Diary Settings and set Default Search Tabs to Frequent.

    The only way to have the Recent list not display those items that you added to your Food Diary is for you to go back to your Food Diary and delete all instances of those unwanted items from every day that you logged them. However, if you delete those unwanted entries from your Food Diary, be aware that your macros will not be correct for those previous days and any Reports, if you use that, will not be correct.

    You can't delete them but you can edit the title and one or all of the ingredients which amounts to same thing as deleting them.
