Has anyone used the recipe creator on MFP? I just tried to create a Spag Bol recipe with carrot & zucchini spirals instead of pasta noodles & when Im in the recipe it says its 1077kj for the whole recipe but then when I click save it says that its 4508kg per serve?!! What did I do wrong?

    Nothing. You must have put in that your recipe serves 2 people.

    When it ask you how many your recipe serves it will then calculate one serving. Since I am not familiar with "kj" as a form of measurement, maybe you were looking at one particular ingredient in the recipe creator.

    2 servings of 1077kg doesn't equal 4508?

    Sorry didn't pay close enough attention before I responded to actually look at the numbers. I must have added a zero to the 1077. But then it still doesn't make sense. I agree with ADc. Maybe you looked at just 1 specific ingredient. I also am not familiar with kg. hope you find out what happened. Sorry I couldn't help

    I figured it out. The recipe calculates in cals then in my food diary it converts to kjs so that's why it looked weird from one page to the next.

    Problem solved :happy:
