in Food and Nutrition
I like to make new recipes from time to time and just "Wing it". Like for example last night I felt like a Reuben but wanted low carb so I made a swiss cheese sauce with cream cheese, swiss cheese, apple juice, salt pepper and thyme, threw in some chicken and corned beef, and served it over broccoli in a bowl. It was absolutely delicious, (Though fatty).

However, I have difficulty entering this type of thing into MFP because I just made it up. How do you get the nutrition information for your own custom recipes?

    I use the recipe builder, enter all the starting ingredients and then say how many portions it makes. Easy peasy.

    Is that some website or is it a part of MFP that I've somehow missed?

    Food tab, the Recipe tab and on the right hand side of the screen "enter new recipe"...just enter in all the ingredients you've used and you done! Be sure to check the nutritional info on some of the items your adding in as I find sometimes they are entered in incorrectly on here! Good luck!
