in Food and Nutrition
Sorry the subject isn't very clear. I'm trying to say I have several recipes that print all of the nutrition per serving - calories, fat, sodium, etc and I want to be able to not just quick add calories but also quick add all of the nutrition - is this possible? And if not, then I think it would be great if MFP changed it on the diaries so we can! (It's a lot quicker than adding everything I cook ingredient by ingredient). ;D So, bump this if you agree, or if there is a way to do this, do share! Thnx!!

    I've found that when you search for a food then there's a link underneath to add a new food if you can't find what you're looking for. I use that to add my recipes! It lets you add all of the nutrition information that you have. Hope that helps!

    when you click into 'food' you have my meals and my recipes
    can you not add the recipe in once, add all the nutritional stuff, and then next time u have it just select it from your recipes or meals?

    @Sarah - yes, that's what i do, but it can take awhile to find all of the accurate ingredients, and I have two little ones, so it makes dinner more complicated than I can handle well some nights! lol, and I plan on adding them all eventually, however, i love trying new recipes too - and i fig if it prints the per serving info, that it's unecessary work. TY for the reply :)
