is there a way to "share" recipes from My Recipes with other users?

AnnaSapphy · November 2015

Both my partner and I have MFP apps, but we're on different dietary regimes and calorie intake. So we often log in a lot of things separately, but dinners are shared. I do a lot of my own cooking and it's a pain to put the recipe in both our apps to log it into the food diaries. Is there a way to upload or 'share' recipes you've made so they don't have to be inputted separately for every member of your family? Thanks!!

You can not share recipes directly with another user, and another user will not find your recipes through a search. Your recipes will be displayed in the search results only when you perform a search.

There is a workaround.
User1 creates a Recipe and logs it to a Meal.
User2 opens User1's Diary (shared with public, friends only, or locked with a key)
User2 clicks Quick Tools and copies User1's Meal to his/her Diary.

Thanks everyone. A bit disappointed you cannot directly "share" or at least "copy" an actual recipe to other members. I've already had friends ask me for my protein bar recipes and it kinda sucks everyone has to input it manually. That would be a great feature, even if it was one that had temp links, or you had to change your settings to 'share recipes' with friends or public.
