A lot of the recipes I try are from Cooking Light. Is there a way to input the numbers for calories/fats/carbs/protein without having to list every ingredient?

    No, you have to list ingredients separately, then you can save the Recipe and reuse it later in smaller portions.

    One thing you could try is food > database
    search "cooking light" and see what comes up I stopped counting at 30 cooking light recipes - you would have to trust that the entry is following the recipe (maybe confirm via the nutritional facts that MFP and cooking light agree)

    Under "food" click the "recipe" tab and you just have to put the recipe in once, and if you change it up another time you can change the recipe there. Enter the total amount of ingredients you put in and figure the number of servings, it does the division for you.
