Is there a way to share a recipe with a friend who also has my fitness pal?

    If you log it in your diary, they can copy it to theirs, assuming they have access to your diary. Then it's in their recent foods, and they can log it to future meals.

    So for example you can't see this recipe I created?

    Nope. When I click on that, it takes me to my recipes.

    Well that makes no sense, when you create a recipe you can "tweet" it. If nobody can see it on twitter then pointless.

    The URL itself is not user specific, I would guess this is a bug.

    Cookies (not the yummy kind).

    The URL for food diary is not user-specific either.

    Not sure about tweeting a recipe, as I've never tried that. It could be creating a copy of the recipe with a hidden URL, or maybe if you've linked your MFP and Twitter accounts it automatically gives your followers access to your recipes as well as your diary? The latter seems like a bad idea, as your followers could then potentially edit or delete your recipes, I would think.

    1. Go to your Diary.
    2. Click on the meal that you have logged in your diary that you like to share
    3. When the details load up you will see a share icon on right side next to the title of your meal. Click on it
    4. This will open a small modal window from where you can text message the reciepe to anyone.

    Note: these steps are for iPhone. Android steps may vary a bit but should be similar.

    Hope it helps!

    Are you using MFP premium? I don't see anything on the Android app for sharing meals or recipes, but I'm using MFP basic (the free version).

    Either I cant share it from my diary because I'm using an android phone or maybe because I dont have the premium version. My guess is because I dont have the premium version. Oh well, thanks for your help!
