I never really used the tools on this sight, I found out last night you can enter a url for a recipe and MFP will do all the calorie calculations. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/recipe/box since it was new to me and a lot of my friends.

    I've been using it since I found the website. I had been using the app for a few months before I realized that the webiste had so much more to offer. It can be a bit of work as it needs tweaking but love using it.

    Eh, any time I've tried it came up with a mess of words and not an actual recipe

    When it works it's a great tool. I thought it was just my computer it didn't always work on, Good to know I am not alone.:smile: Also I just found that many of the recipes I use weekly are already entered, If I just know where to look. The more I wander on this site, the more I learn!

    Oh that's helpful! I'd been using another tool to do that, but this looks better. Hope I do manage to get it to work :/

    I get most of my recipes from food blogs. Those do not import well at all. Or at all, at all. I still have to manually enter recipes the old way - which is fine really since I'm pretty fast at it anymore.

    It is a handy tool. Now if my brain only had a URL, because that's where all my recipes are kept.

    True story... the only time I can get it to work is if I'm on my home computer with Windows 8.1 and the latest IE... otherwise it don't work.

    I did that last night for the first time ever. Pretty slick, I was surprised it worked though.
