in Introduce Yourself
:huh: how do i enter the ingredients from a recipe that i make homemade. Oh let me say I am brand new to fitnesspal and not sure how to do things. I have tried millons and millions of times to lose weight and i hope I have found the thing to help me. I am not far from maybe looking into gastric bypass surgery and really really don't want to do that. So if someone could help me with the task of homemade dishes I would be so greatful. I dont fix a lot of processed foods so how do we figure the calories for a serving.

    Well, the only thing I've put in homemade was my Shepard's pie. All I did was add everything I put into it, and then I saved the meal and named it so that I wouldn't have to go through all that again.

    You can do it 2 ways--

    Enter it all in a meal in your food diary on MFP and then save it as "A Meal" so you don't have to do it again

    or

    go here--great easy way to enter in amounts and ingredients and it spits back the calories in the recipe.
