sharing recipes

Is there a way to share one's recipes that I have created. It has all the nutritional value, and when I create a recipe, or meal, or even food for that matter, how can I send that info to someone without having to manually put it in, or is that even possible? See, my husband is doing this with me, and every time I make something, and create a recipe to break down the nutritional info, I have to manually put it in his as well and it's a pain! There should be a way to share this. Even if you post something, it should have it broken down nutritionally, then you should be able to "save" in your recipes, or food or meals. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

When you put the recipe in you have the option to save it just for you or to publish it. I don't remember the details because I haven't done it in a bit but it was pretty easy

I have the same question. I know how to save and log my recipe but how can I share it with someone else like a family member?

You can not share recipes directly with another user, and another user will not find your recipes through a search. Your recipes will be displayed in the search results only when you perform a search.

There is a work around.
User1 creates a Recipe and logs it to a Meal.
User2 opens User1's Diary (shared with public, friends only, or locked with a key)
User2 clicks Quick Tools and copies User1's Meal to his/her Diary.
