    how do you mean “on your profile”?

    If you mean the old friends Newsfeed, where we could do that, the newsfeed was discontinued over a year ago.

    You can make the recipe “public” but tbh I haven’t had much success doing that. Can’t find them in search.

    Otherwise, if you’ve friend someone, and made your diary visible to friends, they can look at your diary and copy a meal using the three dots.


    clarify what you mean and I’ll share screenshots.

    hi Wilbur.

    They’ve removed the option to share the actual complete recipe for a meal or recipe.

    BUT, if you are sharing that meal with a spouse or roommate it is still very easy to do.

    1.) you just both be on MFP

    2.) one has to send a “friend request” to the other, who must accept the request.

    3.) you both have to have privacy settings to to enable friends to view your diary


    4.) go to your friends list, find your friend and click on their user ID. Click on their profile pic and then on their diary. now you should be looking at their diary.

    5.) scroll down to the meal you want to copy. This is a low cal cheesecake I made yesterday. A serving is 1/12 of the cake. See the three dots at the bottom?

    click on the dots to get something that looks like this:

    Click save as meal. Now the same meal should have saved to your own diary.

    If you want to then save the entry for future use, click those 3 dots, click “save as meal” and go in edit the mea to (in this case) 12x each line for the whole cheesecake.

    It’s a PITA. It saves as a meal, but honestly, meals are far easier to work with than “recipes”. You can copy a meal to tweak it, and it’s easier to edit. I haven’t used the recipe function in four or five years.
