Um so I'm not having any luck with the new Recipe Creator in MFP. Can anyone help me on this. I added the ingredients, each one on its own line as the directions say, and nothing happens. I want to add a recipe but can't figure this out.

    You are lucky. This is what I got:
    Awesome! We matched 0 of 0 ingredients.

    They seem to be working on it as there is always a new bug every time I try it, or a change in format. I don't see the button for using the old recipe creator anymore, either.

    So, I've just stopped using it. If you want to looking up nutritional information for your recipes (even if you can't log it as a recipe on MFP) you can try:
    recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-calculator.asp

    It is much easier to use and gives even more info.

    I think if you add the ingredients as a meal and then use the Quick Tools to remember it, it then saves it as a recipe for you.

    I much prefer the "old" recipe method. I was able to pick the ingredients that I want, not just some randomly chosen junk that isn't exactly what I want.

    Ask and ye shall receive, kids. Old one still works, if you know where to find it:

    The new one is insanely bad, and they seem to have quit caring.

    The only thread they seem to be monitoring about this issue is here: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10014325/updated-recipe-tool-feedback#latest . Let your voice be heard so they continue to understand that it's awful.

    I'm getting this same issue. I've just been using it via the Andriod app. Seems to work fine.
