add macros for recipes?

Zaftique

Perhaps a silly question, but is there a way to just add the carb/fat/protein of a given food? I have no idea what kind of pork or apples or onions or crust go into the scrumptiously tasty food at the local pasty place, and I emailed the owner to see if I could get a nutritional rundown of some of them. I linked him to the MFP recipe calculator, but if he comes back and just gives me the C/F/P content, and not the (proprietary) ingredients, how can I add that to a recipe?

Am I SOL?

You can just search the database for macros (protein, carb, fat) and add them. Is that what you mean?

Yes! How?

Searching "carb" pulls up everything titled "lo-carb" "no-carb" and everything other than just straight up macro carb. Throw me some boolean.

Try entering macro into your search too (eg carb macro). That should give you what you're looking for

Huzzah, I knew there was an obvious term I was spacing on. Durr!

Thanks!
