I agree, it's time-consuming at first! If you tend to make the same things, eventually most will be on your recipe tab. That way the more you track the easier it will get.

My problem with recipes is determining amount of servings for big batch items like chili. It's a huge pot of beans and veggies - I don't know how many servings that is!

Either way it's worth it to not be eating garbage convenience foods! I'll send you a friend request, too.

It does take time to make your own meals/recipes, but it's work the extra effort. I try and use the weekend, Sunday in particular, to make a few recipes for the week. I use the recipe builder to figure out the calories and nutrients per serving. Also, invest in freeze containers or ziplocks to freeze individual servings. It makes it so much easier to eat healthy during the week without having to cook every day. Feel free to friend me if you want to see some of my recipes. Hope this helps!

I agree...enter your recipes in the recipe counter. It takes a bit of time in the beginning, but soon you will have most or all of them in there. Also, some recipes actually include the nutrition information and portion sizes. I get a lot of my recipes from sparkpeople.com and it has all that info, already.
