in Food and Nutrition
My wife cooks delicious meals and I have found a neat tool to compute the nutritional values using Living Cookbook. Many of her
recipes come from the internet. I simply copy the ingredients and procedure to Living Cookbook and bingo....the nutritional values.

But I want to put the nutritional values into MFP - how do I do this or can I do this?

    It works really great and it has been a big help to me. Once you add a recipe it is really easy to add it to your food diary.

    If I understand you already made the recipe in another program and got the nutritional, correct? If so then the recipe tab, which is awesome, would just be duplicating your work. Instead I would just create a new food. Do a search for a food (type anything in the box it doesn't matter) then at the bottom of your page it will say "Can't find what you're looking for? Add a food to the database" Click on that and using the information from your other program make your new food.
