I created a nut butter recipe and saved it. Now I'm trying to create another recipe and want to add some of the nut butter to the new recipe. When I click on "add ingredients" on the recipe screen I can't find the nutrition info...HOW do I get it from my recipe box to the new recipe I'm creating? I'm legally blind and I'm apparently missing something... Please HELP!

    You can't add a recipe into the recipe but you could add all the items into the other recipe apart from the nut butter and then save both recipes as a meal, alternatively you can use the nutritional info you have from your nut butter recipe to create a new food and then log that as an ingredient in your new recipe.

    I came up with a workaround to add the ingredients of one recipe to another by first saving all the ingredients in my Diary, saving it as a My Meal, then using the saved My Meal to add to the new recipe using the Old Recipe Calculator on the web version. I now use this two step method for all recipes I create because I prefer the search function of the Diary.

    I posted my instructions in this thread...
