Can't Add New Food to Recipe

kylevergottini

I'm currently in the process trying to create a recipe. However, one of the ingredients isn't correctly logged in the database. I've checked a lot of entries with similar names, and none of them matched what I was trying to enter. I tried to correct one of the entries in the database through the website, but that didn't actually go through. I literally don't care what's in the database, I just want to enter the nutrition label in front of me for the recipe I'm creating for myself. Is there any way to enter custom foods into a recipe, or am I screwed?

You can absolutely create your own foods! We recommend reading through this article for more information on this: https://support.myfitnesspal.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032271992-How-do-I-log-a-food-that-is-not-in-the-database.

That being said, at this time, there's not a way to access your My Foods when creating Recipes but we will definitely consider this in the future.
