Create 'Foods' from 'My Meals'

I like creating own meals. Lets say chicken schnitzel. When i log in for dinner, every little ingredient is listed (chicken, flour, greek yoghurt, panko crumbs, parmesan cheese, spray oil) which is fair. But if I can just list 'My Chicken Schnitzel' my dairy wont be so cluttered! Sure I have created a 'Food' from my recipe but I have to type every little nutrition detail manually. Can you possibly create an option that allows to push a 'my recipe' straight into a 'my foods' option with all the nutrition along with it. It would be so handy.

    You can use the recipe builder to create the recipe and log it that way. My recipe box is one of my fav things about MFP!

    I wish you could share the recipe or the meal with another person. Both my husband and I use my fitness pal, yet I am the one who cooks, so I know exactly what the ingredients/brands/portions of food for the meal. It's kind of annoying having to recite it all to my husband every night!
