    Not quite sure what you mean. If you enter a recipe in the recipe tab, MFP will give you the nutritional information. For example, scrambled eggs would be: 2 eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 tsp salt. MFP would save this as a recipe, and match the foods, make you double check them and then output the nutrients based on the number of servings you enter.

    You need to add your ingredients to the recipe builder and MFP will give you the nutritional info.

    Double check you're using the correct entries by comparing mfp's number to what is on the pack, and use the usda data website to get the correct numbers for fresh food, eg meat/fruit veggies etc
