When you create a recipe you have a list of all ingredients and amount of that ingredient before you officially save it.

It would be nice to then at a later date, at anytime to be able to click on the recipe to see the ingredient breakdown

What if it's been a while since you made the recipe and you don't remember exactly what measurements or ingredients you used and you lost the one you wrote on paper.. you could then just go to my recipes and click on the recipe and click on or under the macro/micro information and get a list of ingredients and their measurements.

    You can, it's in your recipe box. In the app, it's in the menu under Recipes, Meals & Foods. The app has the benefit of being able to search your recipes. You can then see the recipe including all amounts and edit it, if you want.

    On desktop, it's under Food>Recipes. You can view and edit from here too, but you can search only browse, so if you have a lot of recipes like me, it's easier on the app.

    I guess I will have to try on the computer. On my android all I get is the macro/micro information and not the ingredients or measurements and I also dont have the option to edit the recipe now.

    However, if I create the meal or food in My Meals tab then I get the ingredient breakdown.. I just didn't make this recipe in the my meals tab this time, and when I try to save it from my diary to my meals.. there is not an ingredient breakdown.🙃

    I was also trying to figure out if I could import it to my meals with the breakdown but I can't. At least not on my phone.

    Are you going to the right area to look at your recipes? Not from your food diary, but from the menu in the bottom right:

    LOL. I'm stupid. Thank you, I see it now. I kept trying to get there from the diary section.

    Not stupid! It makes sense to look for it from the diary! Happy recipe-ing!
