I just made a recipe for Teriyaki chicken that included the calorie count and nutrient #’s /per serving. How do I add this to my daily food diary?

There's a recipe feature in the food diary part of MFP. It's a bit of a learning process to use at first, but really helpful once you get the hang of it.1 -
You can either use the recipe feature, or you can just add the calories based on the % you ate. I do that a lot when I'm lazy. Example: I made a stir fry and I know it has 900 calories. I eat about 1/3 of it today, so I just put quick-add 300 calories today. The next day I eat 2/3, so I quickadd 600 calories. The quick add only works if you don't care about nutrient %, which I don't for a single meal.0
