    I am truly sorry for any issues you are having with creating recipes in the app. If you could please visit: https://myfitnesspal.zendesk.com/hc/en-us or send us an email to support@myfitnesspal.com for further help on this.

    While you wait, you should be able to access the program via our main site at www.myfitnesspal.com and create your recipes from there.

    Yes, I came here to ask this question. Frustrating as much of what I eat is something I cook -- and I usually make things up as I go along. Glad it's not just me and hopefully someone will come along with a solution.

    I’m having the same issue. It’s especially frustrating because I have just returned to logging and things I know I would have entered aren’t coming up. This app has really gone downhill. ☹️

    I'm just noticing this problem today - can't save my recipe. I took the tech advice and tried on the website but that won't save either.

    As of yesterday (Oct 18) I can't SAVE a recipe on browser or android app when I include the link to the recipe.

    Workaround is to just input the ingredients manually. Don't include link or autofill ingredients.

    MyFitnessPal this is particularly annoying as you don't provide the ability to manually enter cooking instructions.

    Not exactly the same problem, but related. In August, I got this reply from Jean the Admin regarding how to use a recipe within a recipe:

    Also, please see https://myfitnesspal.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032622771-How-can-I-use-a-recipe-as-an-ingredient-in-a-new-recipe for more information on how to add a recipe into a new recipe.

    The solution worked great and now it doesn't work at all. Half the time I can't even find food that I've entered. Also ... I've tried this on both my desktop (i.e., logging into website) and via app on my iPhone and neither works. Also have the issue with recently used food.

    I'm having this issue, too. It makes the website unusable. I can't meal plan at all.
