Hey everyone. I have 2 challenges. One is that once I add a recipe I am unable to go back and see what ia inside my recipe and edit it leaving me to do a recipe again from scratchif I make an alteration. As there an easier way?

    I'm guessing you've been trying to access them from the food diary? That only allows you to log them, not access, view, or edit them.

    On phone, go to "more" then to "recipes, meals & foods" and you will be able to access a list of your entered recipes, edit them, see the details etc.

    On desktop, just go to Food> Recipes and you will have a list of your recipes you can click into and edit, view etc.

    if you are looking to alter or tweak recipes, save them as “meals” instead of saving as “recipes”.

    You can see all the ingredients, and you can “copy” the meal. This way you have the copy to play with and make substitutions. Quantity changes etc.

    mit also saves the original meal, unaltered, so that if the experimental version is an epic fail, you haven’t changed the original.

    Please, when you add a “meal”’to your food diary, it adds the individual ingredients, rather than the gross total of a recipe.

    For example, tonight I made tzatziki to serve on a naan chicken wrap. I downloaded .25 of my saved tzatziki meal to my food diary, and because I didn’t have any garlic, simply went in to my food diary and deleted the garlic line.

    If saved as a “recipe” I wouldn’t have that simple option.

    Using “meals”’is so much more flexible than using “recipes”.
