So I cook a lot from scratch, Peggie's and chicken mostly, I wish ther was some way we could creat a meal and list all our ingrediants ant then it would both save our recipe maybe add it to a searchable database and calculate nutritional stuff

    Look for the Recipes section on your food diary. That allows you to do exactly what you described.

    I use the recipe feature frequently. I don't save it to the database though. It saves in My Recipes, but no one else needs access to it. You can also edit them so that if you use different ingredients the next time, you only need to reenter the ones that you have changed. Love that feature. :flowerforyou:

    ETA: by entering it into the database for others, it provides the nutritional information, but not the actual ingredients, so pretty useless for others, plus it clutters up a database that is already full of useless items.
  • That I you!
