What do your meals look like (show me pictures)....
Since the other thread got locked, I'm starting a new one.
What are some great meal prep ideas?
Hello, I’m looking to get back into meal prep. Something easy that won’t take long to make for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I’m very active physically and go to work and school time. I’m in need of meals that can provide the energy needed to sustain what I do, thank you again!
Website - Edit Recipe - Edit Quantity - Broke
When editing a recipe on the website, clicking on Edit Quantity no longer brings up the quantity change box. It just returns to top of page. This has been broken for almost a week. I tested it on both Chrome and Edge. Anyone else experiencing this?
Chia Seed Pudding recipes
I've been reading about the benefits of chia seeds and interested in using them more often in my plan. I made one last night for my breakfast this morning and I wasn't really thrilled. It was a chocolate pudding, made using cocoa powder. There was maple syrup as a sweetener but it didn't really cover the bitterness of the…
Searching for Recipes
1. Is there a way to search for recipes? Simply browsing through Discovery is cumbersome and annoying. 2. 2. Once I locate a recipe, is there a way to add to My Diary for a future date-then have that entry actually link to the recipe? I plan meals ahead of time, but often have trouble locating the recipe on tge day I…
Is there a way to substitute the nuts or nut butter in recipes?
I am not allergic I just do not prefer them

Improve Recipes - Folders, Search, Notes, Measurements
Here are 4 ideas to make recipes so much more useful. Now that I am using the feature more, I am running into limitations. The 4 suggestions are: 1. Organization - allow people to tag recipes or make folders. 2. The mobile app searches recipes well. Desktop does not. I often cook off the desktop version of the site and…
Ice Cream/Frozen Yogurt/Gelato/Sorbet Recipe Collection
Let's start a collection of recipes! I now have a new kitchen gadget (Ninja Creami) that makes various frozen desserts. I'll share what I come up with, and hope others will chime in with recipes they have made and tested. All recipes welcome (regular/lite/low-cal/high protein/etc.).
Hello MyFitness Pals, day 60 on my new health journey
Hello, I'm twenty-four pounds down with many pounds left to go on my new health journey and I look forward to learning so much more about, Carbohydrates, Proteins, Fats and all that jazz. I'm exploring new foods, new recipes and storing them on OneNote for future use. Who knew this journey would be so much fun with the…
Search for recipes by ingredients
I’m sure I’m not the first to suggest this. I find the way the app classifies recipes is next to useless. I want to type in a list of ingredients, for example, zucchini and feta, and see what comes up. This feature would ensure I use the recipe section and would save me laboriously looking for a recipe outside the app and…
Hey y'all I'm new here
Hey Yall!!! my name is Lindsey and I am a mother of 3. I am a sahm and my youngest is our only boy. He was born with hydrocephalus, epilepsy and cerebral palsy. Due to his many many many hospital stay, surgeries and other medical issues I have not eaten the best over the last decade. However I am making it my mission as of…
How to create recipes that include items like flour
OK, assume I'm adding a crispy fried shrimp recipe. I may use 1 cup of flour and some cornstarch, but that's just to cover the shrimp before it goes in the fryer. Should I add some flour in the ingredients, like a tablespoon, or just exclude it altogether?
How do you log your meals when you’re a no recipe kinda mom?
Hi folks, I’m new sort of to this app and I find tracking my meals I’ve cooked on a whim, really hard to log. Do you log each ingredient in the dish as a whole or do you log just what’s in your plate? For example- I made salmon filets with basmati rice and steamed veggies. I made a soya sauce based sauce with home made…
Potential Feature: Using Logged Food Data to Create Shopping Lists!
This should be a feature available for premium users. If I am in error, and this feature already does exist, I would love to know how to gain access. I have tried exporting a printable version of my Diary and using AI to analyze and generate a list, but the text of the exported file is not OCRed, which means it is not…
How do I trick myself?
I'm aiming to lose about 5-8kg and I like lots of fruits and vegetables, but I realllyyy can't get myself to willingly eat salad or tomatoes. Idk what it is about them, probably the texture for tomatoes, but I just can't. Could someone give me tips to kinda "trick" myself into eating more of it? I know it's one of the best…
How to export my own recipes etc.?
There is an "Export" function in the app that sends you a link to your data - albeit only for weight, macros and exercises. Is there a way to also export the recipes, ingredients etc. that I created?
Best app to organise recipes
Hello, I'm looking for an app in which I'm able to import recipes from myfitnesspal so I can organise them in e.g. lunch, dinner, chicken, wraps etc. Right now, I create recipes beforehand just like I think I'm going to cook something, but as I'm busy cooking, I sometimes prefer having a little bit more of something or…
How do I search for recipes?
This question was last asked in 2012. I figure somethings must have changed in 11 years? I'm looking for a database of recipes that are gluten free with certain types of vegetables. Does that exist? If not, why not? Thank you
Enable Recipe Searchs by Specific Food
Enable users to search for data base recipes by ingredient, e.g. eggs, squash, turkey. This would help when trying to use up items users already have on hand, or when looking for ideas when cooking with seasonal fruits and vegetables.

Started at 156.9kg, now sitting at 128.8kg. I was a competitive powerlifter, but have since decided to focus more on my health and…
Confirmation window when exiting recipe editor with unsaved changes
Whenever I accidentally leave the recipe editor/maker with unsaved changes it just removes all the changes I've made without prior warning which is rather frustrating. Having a confirmation window pop up to confirm any changes I've made would help avoid this problem immensely.
Easier Meal Plan tracking with recipes and macros
I personally find planning my meals with macros each day really hard, I have to upload a URL for a recipe but this is super buggy and doesnt work very often. I'd love to be able to plan ahead with an overview of the entire week and my macros on each day, by uploading a url of a recipe that I can then just move/drag around…

More protein please
I’m having trouble reaching my daily protein goals. Usually I’m getting about a 1/3 of what I need. I’d love any tips on how I can increase my protein while keeping carbs down. I also won’t eat fish.
The Food Database Really Needs Curation and Editing
First off, although MFP is the best recipe builder and meal tracker I've found, it's woefully difficult to use, and also can't be exported?! Come on. Not even a CSV? Also, let's enjoy this glorious screenshot: Last time I check, mL wasn't a very logical or common measurement for a powder. Sure, it can be, I guess, but all…
