I am a Type 2 diabetic on insulin. Will you please post the nutritional information to My Fitness Pal database. The calorie count is not the critical item. I must take enough insulin to cover my Blue Apron meals.

    You may need to start adding the ingredients to the data base. To do that go to my recipes and foods, click add foods and enter the package's nutritional information. If it is a produce or meat item, I have found the site calorie king to be helpful. I know, it's irritating when people don't add all the info:-/

    I wonder if they are trying to contact Blue Apron?

    All of this. Weigh each ingredient as you cook with it and add it to the recipe builder. You should get pretty close on your NI.

    I add all my own foods to my dairy, I don't use the database as most of the time it's incorrect, or nutrition isn't added. Even if it is correct, people can come along and change it.

    I *have* asked BA about providing macronutrient data. There is a BA FAQ that repeats what they told me - basically that the specific portions in the shipment have some variation and that the amount of oil and salt used in the preparation is out of their control. This is a cop-out. They provide calorie data - isn't this ALSO influenced by the same factors involved in the variation in macronutrient data? Why not provided an average, as shipped? Or an average, prepared as suggested. Really, I think that many want to know about carbs and protein - and those will not change with prep (but will vary with actual amounts of pasta/meat/etc. in the box). Still, REALLY? The cost is high and BA is, in part, about convenience. So now I also need to spend time weighing each ingredient (or the critical ones, at least) to get nutritional info? THAT is BA's job! The food has been fine and I enjoy the variety. But I'm about to quit because of the arrogant BA attitude about macronutrients... How do they get the calorie data, if they can't get macronutrient at the same time...?
