Entering recipes

Hello! I am new to the program and have a quick question -
I know how to enter individual food items but want to know if there is a way to insert the nutrition of a premade recipe without including all the individual ingredients. I cook a lot of meals from the Biggest Loser cookbook and it already has the nutrition information included.

Thanks!

    Food tab
    recipe builder (options right under the main tabs at the top)
    Pretty self explanatory from there I think

    I tried that and it wanted me to list all of the ingredients. I am looking more for a way to list the nutritional information provided like I could on my former weight loss site.

    Thanks for the help!

    You can add quick calories on your food diary but not the entire breakdown. not sure if that is what u are asking

    Under "food" go to "my foods" and then "create food". You can just enter the title of the food and the nutritional info. You have the option of whether or not to share it with the MFP database.
