My wife and I are both using MFP. Every time we cook a meal we input all the ingredients into both phones. Is there an easy way to put the meal into one and share/send it to someone else?

    Hey there, the wife and I use Google Docs for our recipes and share among friends. We both have Droids so with the GDoc app it's very seamless--pull it up as we cook in the kitchen, share with the click of a button, super easy. The problem comes with digitizing our written recipe collection... ugh, that is taking forever... :-)

    I use google docs as well but am not sure how to import it into my app on my phone.

    Yes you can...my wife and I also have the same issue...you can make a reciepe and figure out what the numbers are per serving, then go to "My Foods" create a new food, enter in all the information (Cals, Carbs, Fats, etc...) and at the bottom there is a Allow other members to select my food (or something like that) and then you both should be able to use it. But I do suggest one thing, when you create your "New Food" where it asks for a Brand name, create something unique to you and your wife for easier searching (ex. My last name starts with a G and we are a family of 5, so our brand is G5, and everything that I have entered under teh G5 brand name come up (its not that long of a list))

    Good question. when I make a recipe, I take a picture of the Cals,carbs, fats page and text my hubby. He then puts it in his My Foods rather than go through whole process himself.

    Another thing you can do: my wife enters in dinner while she is making it. When she is done, I go to her Diary and the "Quick Tools" allows me to copy her entire meal to my Diary.
