Sharing recipes with friends

Hi there,

I was just wondering if there is an option to share a recipe with friends. I saw that I can create meals and share those with friends but while my wife and I cook and eat together we have our own accounts and I didn't think it would be so complicated to get one recipe we do (which isn't online) on both phones.

It's a little bit tedious to create all recipes twice or once and then also a meal which contains just that, just so we can have it in our diary/calories count 🙁 .

LG,

Alex

    Sadly-it is that tedious. It’s not a horrible pain to copy from a meal, but that’s the best we can do.

    While mfp does have the recipe builder-usability isn’t great.

    Sorting/searching isn’t possible on the web. Just keep paging through until you find it. You can’t share recipes. And using a recipe as an ingredient in another recipe is also a tedious process (save as a meal and then use that - but only through the “original” recipe builder version on the website).
