Easy Way to break down Nutrition info for Recipes

sally_jeffswife

I just realized something today that is very very helpful. You know how sometimes you make a homeade recipe and you go to try to find it on here or to calculate the nutritional info and its really hard cuz it isn't listed. Well if you go on the Spark Recipe website even if you aren't a member on there you can go into their Recipe Calculator and add all your ingredients and the amounts and it will calculate and break down all the nutritional info for ya then you can just write it down and add it on here when you add your recipes. Its nice, I feel like my homeade recipes will be much more accurate now and its quicker and easier to save them that way when you already know all the nutritional info for them.

Hey. that is EXACTYLY the same here. There is a recipes area where you add all the ingredients and set the servings...BAM! It figures it out. No need to go to that other crappy website...unless you are just trying to drum up traffic.

It's even easier than that - you can add recipes here on MFP!

Go to the Food Tab, then click the link for "recipes," (fifth white link over), then click on the green "enter new recipe" button, and then you add your ingredients, set your servings, and it calculates the nutritional info for you. It also saves the recipe so you can add servings from it again.

Since I do a lot of cooking from scratch, this is one of my absolute favorite features on MFP.

I use the recipe maker on MFP every week. I put protein shakes in there, sweets in there, spaghetti in there.....everything lol. It is so much easier to put them in there once and then be able to go back and click on it the next time and not have to completely re-log everything!

Glad to know you can do that on here also, didn't realize that I saw where you can add your recipes on here but not where it automatically breaks down the nutrition info for ya. Good to know.
