Can two people share info?

in Getting Started
I have been using the paid version of MFP for six months, and my wife is going to start using it, too. We will almost always have the same dinner, and occasionally, we'll have the same foods for other meals. Is there a way to enter the information only once and share it across the app? If not, what do others do in situations like this?

Thanks.

Chip

    It's not possible to share a premium account directly. You can buy a second premium account, or use one premium and one free account (separate ones).

    I think there are some ways to share meal entries, but I haven't done it, and am not positive. I wonder if @springlering62 can help?


    Here’s how you do it on iOS. I have Premium, husband has free account. Shouldn’t make any difference.

    Go to friends, find your friend or spouse and click on them. Then click to open their diary. )they have to have it set to a minimum privacy setting of of “share diary with friends”.)

    Find the meal you want to copy. Click on the three little dots:

    If you want to save the meal as a recipe to reuse later, click on save as meal. If you just want to copy it into your daily diary, click on save to date:

    Then select where in your day you want to save it:

    You can also use the three-dot
    Function to save or copy meals in your own diary. For example, if you’re having last night’s leftovers for lunch today, go to last night and copy to lunch today.

    I'm pretty sure Spring would've come along and helped you regardless, because your question is in her wheelhouse and she's mega-helpful always. Tagging her in at most maybe raised your post to her notice a tiny bit quicker, nothing more.

    Best wishes for much success here, to both you and your wife!
