Sharing recipes?

Hi folk I'm very new to this and have joined along with my partner. How do we share recipes so we don't need to input them twice when we cook together? The only way we found to do it was with an expensive picture text. Surely there's some way of sharing with friends within the app?

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.

​There is a workaround to log another user's Recipe nutrition information. Once you log a Recipe to one of your Meals, another user who has access to your Food Diary can copy the Meal containing the Recipe item from your Diary to their Diary, then delete any unwanted entries from that copied Meal.

​Please see these articles, and search for other helpful articles, on the MFP Help/FAQ pages...

Do you have an IPhone? If so, sharing recipes is easy. Once you enter the recipe into your diary, you’ll see a small square with an upward pointing arrow - click on that and it will open an instant message box. Send it to whoever and then they can import it into MVP.
