Database?

I have seen several posts with recipes that refer to a recipe database. Where would I find that? :ohwell:

    This I want to know too....I just know you can create your own recipe. But I too have seen people get some from some database. Where is it??

    Go to 'Tools' and then click 'Recipe Nutrition Calculator" under the MFP Mobile picture.
    The direct link is
    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/recipe/calculator
    It is a great tool and very clever.
    Yay for MFP!

    I think I must be really dense because I'm still not seeing a database of recipes. :blushing: All I see is the calculator, where I can add my own recipes. I thought there was a database of recipes where I could search.

    Ok, I see what you mean. I thought that too. What it actually means is you build your own database of recipes that you use in your home. So I've added the ingredients for a couple of cakes and spag bol etc. But no one else can see them and they don't have the instructions, just the calorie content. I guess the label is a bit misleading. Could have a better name to describe exactly what it is. Make sense now?

    :frown: Darn it. I thought we could share recipes with each other in a database. I know there's a forum for it so I guess that'll have to suffice. :wink:
    Thank you for explaining!!

    Hey...just read your posts. I created a recipe, and was given the option to submit it to MyFitnessPal. If/when it's approved, it will be added to a "future" recipe database.....they're apparently waiting for more submissions before that will occur. In the meantime, enjoy everybody's submissions in the forum.
