Share Recipes

When I cook with my wife I make a recipe in MFP, we should be able to share it and she can the log that same meal just as fast! Make it happen MFP

    Thank you for the suggestion! While it is not currently possible to directly share a recipe, it is possible to copy nutritional information of recipes once they've been logged to the food diary as a meal.

    As a workaround for friends or family on the program who have set their "Diary Sharing" options to allow you to view their diary, you can Copy a Meal (logged Recipe/Food) from a friend's diary to yours.

    While this can work, often my wife and I don't eat exactly the same things for a whole meal. So then you are left deleting or modifying things. Friends should be able to see friends recipes.
