Recipe calculator?

I saw someone refer to entering a recipe into the "recipe calculator". Im curious where I can find this?! I wish there was an easier way to calcualte the nutrition info on a recipe with lots of ingredients.

Under tools. I had a hard time with the serving size part of it.

You can add recipes under the food tab. It bites when you have a lot of ingredients but do it once and you'll never have to do it again.

Try This: Click on the FOOD tab, then RECIPES then Add New Recipe. That should take you there. I love the recipe calculator! Although figuring out how many servings a casserole is can be a bit tricky. I used water and measured how many cups my casserole dish holds. Figured I'd eat between 1-2 cups at a time.

Under the Food tab is a Recipe button. Click that and then to the right is a Enter New Recipe button. Click that and then add in all of your ingredients and how many serving of each you are using.

Hit the Food tab then Recipes... to the right you'll see a button "Enter New Recipe".... simple process and works like a charm.... add the ingredients like you'd put in on your food diary and put in how many servings the recipe makes!

Other than the one on this site...

Not exactly what you are looking for, but I think it would work... it tracks calories, fat, protein, and carbs and then it also gives you weight watchers points.

It is a little time consuming, but I like to enter them for the recipes I make often. Go to "Food", then Recipes, then add recipe. That's it!

After I make the dish, if its something like chili or soup, I measure out how many cups it made before I serve it. Its a pain to do that, and creates more dishes, but at least I know how many one cup servings it makes. I have 4 pages of recipes, I use it all the time!!!

Do they have a way yet that we can share our MFP recipes?
