app function recipe question

Hi. Installed the app couple of days ago. Still learning the app. Barcode scanner is amazing. Overall like the app a lot.
I want to create recipes or meals based on barcode scans.
Lose It has this function but it scans the label not the barcode (for example cannot scan kiwi or banana because they have no nutritional label).
Is there a way to do it in myfitnesspal too?
More background:
I want to save more time and not use the kitchen scale for cooking.
In my country almost all food in any supermarket is packed in the exact same mass per food regardless of brand. For example chicken breast skinless is always 700gr. Any market any brand.
I don't want to use the proposed recipes because I don't have a lot of time to cook.
Not scared of cooking, but a faster way for me is to place a certain quantity with certain macro split in a tray in the oven and then next 3-4 days get it from the fridge and only use the scale per mealbox. Or 2 days if it's cold made in a bowl like tuna salad.
I know this is not for everyone but if you have advice on how to use the meal creator together with the barcode scanner or other workaround please let me know.
Thanks.
