Copy your own Recipes to add

I have suggestion, i think it would be a helpful improvement for those of us that create our own recipes but every now and then we make it again and it may differ slightly.

Eg:- it would be excellent if you could create a recipe save it. But say you want to make it again but can’t get the exact same ingredients OR you just want to add extras etc it would be helpful if you could create a recipe and then copy it and call it the same but perhaps add version 2. Like I make hamburger patties and sometimes I go to Cole’s, Woolies or Aldi and get different mince and the calories differ it would be good to be able to just copy your recipe instead of starting from scratch. S sometimes I have patties from 2 different versions in the freezer ready to grab.

    It is possible to copy any recipes you have created! At the moment this is only available on the website, but we will consider bringing it to the apps in the future. 

    On the web:

    • Log into the website - https://www.myfitnesspal.com
    • Click Food then Recipes
    • Find the recipe you would like to copy and select Copy
    • You'll be taken to the recipe editing screen where you should see (copy) at the end of the recipe title
    • Edit your Recipe and Save or Save & Log It
