Transfer my data to another account

Hi everybody,

Is it possible to transfer my food data to someone else's account? My boyfriend would like to sign up to MFP and since we eat the same foods I was wondering if I could just transfer my food and recipes to his account? Thank you !

Kind of, meals work but for recipes you need to have the recipe created in one account. I'll try to explain:

Create B/Fs account and friend each other
If you create a meal in your diary your B/F will be able to see your food diary and, by using the Quick Tools option in his diary copy a meal from you into his diary.

This works pretty well and is how I manage my wife's account (I do most of food prep and planning so I do most of her logging as well)

What you can't do is easily copy a recipe from one account to another, so in this instance the best thing to do is:

Create recipe in your account. Add a portion to a meal.
From B/F account copy that meal from your account to B/Fs (If he has diff portion size he can change the amount I think).

Best wishes
