Hi!
I'm returning to MyFitnessPal and trying to recall all the options. Is there a place to create a recipe that will give me the nutritional values?
Thanks!!

    I use this site and it works well enough for what interests me:

    I use the MFP recipe builder. It is under the Food tab in the website, and under the Recipes, Meals & Foods listing in the app menu.

    A few notes about how I use it...

    I weigh my final product, and use the weight in grams as the # of servings. So if my chili weighs 3500g, I set my # of servings to 3500. Then if I eat 345g, I log 345 servings.

    I'll remake the same recipe, but typically the ingredients are not identical. Such as I may use a little more or less of some ingredients. So then I go back in and edit the prior recipe.

    I try to be descriptive in my title. Such as I may name it Chili w 85/15 ground beef. Then if the next time I use ground turkey, then I know I need to delete the ground beef from the recipe and enter in ground turkey.
