    Thank you for the suggestion! While it is not currently possible to directly share a recipe, it is possible to copy nutritional information of recipes once they've been logged to the food diary as a meal.

    As a workaround for friends or family on the program who have set their "Diary Sharing" options to allow you to view their diary, you can Copy a Meal (logged Recipe/Food) from a friend's diary to yours.

    While this can work, often my wife and I don't eat exactly the same things for a whole meal. So then you are left deleting or modifying things. Friends should be able to see friends recipes.
