Anyone else think it would be great if you could share your reciepes with friends?

I love the fact you can import recipes and match up the ingredients - it really helps to see the calorie count for a serving before you make it.

I was thinking it would be nice that instead of sharing recipes in the just in the forums if we could make our personal myfitness pal reciepe box and share it with friends or make it availible for public viewing.

Anyone else have thoughts on this?? I was just pondering it since I just got some friends hooked on this app.

I think that is a great idea. My wife an I were just talking about it. Since we both are using the app we have to each put it in. It would be nice to put it in one time and share it for a single dinner. Or to have the dinner again.

Sharing recipes would make this fitness journey much easier to follow. I have a recipe for a smoothie but can't share the ingredients with my husband so he can track his carbs, fat, protein etc, unless he creates the same recipe. Frustrating and time consuming. Also when editing a recipe why can't you just alter what needs to be changed rather than deleting the recipe and starting over.

You can not share recipes directly with another user, and another user will not find your recipes through a search. Your recipes will be displayed in the search results only when you perform a search.

However, there is a workaround to log a friend's recipe to your Food Diary using the Quick Tools feature.

User1 creates a Recipe and logs it to a Meal.
User2 opens User1's Diary (shared with public, friends only, or locked with a key)
User2 clicks Quick Tools and copies User1's Meal to his/her Diary.
