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.

    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.
