I have a recipe for shredded chicken that includes garlic, butter, serrano peppers, and chicken breast that I use for meal prep. I created a recipe in myfitnesspal and added all the ingredients and weighed the meal to put in the total grams of weight. But let's say tomorrow I want to add that shredded chicken to another recipe. Is there a way to incorporate like 200 grams of the shredded chicken recipe with all the macros and everything attached and add it to my other recipe for cauliflower rice or my soup recipe? Or do I have just to keep logging them separately? Hope this makes sense and thanks in advance for any replies!

    Makes sense but no, you can't incorporate one of your recipes into another recipe.

    Can you enter your 200gms as one of your custom foods, allow it to be added to the database and then create a new recipe - when you add a food it searches the database so in theory it should find your entry, I think!

    Thank you! I thought I was doing something wrong because I wasn't able to do this.

    I have tried that and it doesn't work, unfortunately :(

    I just tried it - I made a random custom food, created a recipe and searched for that food in the database. It is there, and I have just added it to a recipe. I am using a laptop, not the app - I don't know if that makes a difference..?
